- * I just watched the YouTube video and he seems to have downplayed economic damages that certain policies would cause. Some international policies would cripple developing nations, leaving them severely vulnerable to tyranny, oppression, poverty, and exploitation. Domestic policies put people out of jobs and increase the costs of living, not to mention limit our liberties as well. Just writing down economic problems does not equally show both sides, especially if he went into specifics with hurricanes and storms on the other side. Also, the basis for his argument is that the policies environmentalists push such as quotas and switching to electricity will actually lower carbon emissions. Electric cars still need power from somewhere, and generating that power will cause emissions. If you want to argue about solar panels, think about what factories have to do to produce those panels and how much land is needed to generate a certain amount of energy. I like how some of the companies the guy cited that support policies are the ones making money off of the global climate change scare (General Electric for one, they own two of the biggest global climate change supporting networks, NBC and the Weather Channel). Energy companies would love quotas seeing that they will increase the price of energy artificially allowing them to make money while producing less. Also, what kind of company would not accept free money from the government if they switched to something that the government has determined to be environmentally friendly?	+ * I just watched the YouTube video and he seems to have downplayed economic damages that certain policies would cause.

	+ ------ + ''2009-11-17 10:53:05'' [[nbsp]] If you actually want some valid arguments against the existence of climate change, you should definitely look at the relationship between carbon dioxide and vegetation (this argues that carbon does not cause global warming) as well as the relationship between the sun and carbon dioxide. You could also look into who profits the most from a panic over global warming (General Electric and Al Gore). A drop during a year really proves nothing. --["Users/hankim"]

	+ + That's hardly what I'd call a good amount of information for someone to make up their own mind. The National Post is a generally conservative paper and has been running a series of articles hellbent on displaying global warming as either false, a hoax, or vastly unsettled science -- a little bit of research uncovers this ([http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=332289 1], [http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2009/03/10/peter-foster-the-crumbling-case-for-global-warming.aspx 2], [http://www.desmogblog.com/national-post-misrepresenting-climate-change-denial 3] - which explains a bit how the newspaper had scientists untrained in climate science, such as statisticians, evaluate data blindly and then claim they were global warming deniers). The implication that because temperatures dropped (relative to the previous year) global warming isn't happening is a one-dimensional outlook on the problem. If you look [http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/nhshgl.gif at this graph] and you can see how a dip in the global mean temperature in, say, 2005, doesn't mean that there isn't a clear trend here. + + I'd certainly encourage anyone out there who's thinking of getting involved to do so. And I'd certainly encourage them to do research on global warming. But those National Post articles are pure garbage. --["Users/PhilipNeustrom"]

Interested citizens are invited to attend a progress report on the CAT’s efforts on Thursday, April 30 beginning at 6:30 PM in the Community Chambers at City Hall, 23 Russell Blvd. The information meeting will focus on the CAT’s work to identify early actions that will yield early greenhouse gas emission reductions. + + The Climate Action Team is made up of a wide variety of community interest groups, organizations and citizens who are participating in the effort to develop a Climate Action Plan for Davis. The Team has been meeting for the past year and includes representatives from UC Davis, the Sierra Club, Davis Area Chamber of Commerce, Associated Students of UC Davis, Davis Joint Unified School District, Explorit Science Center, Care for God’s Creation, PG&E, Yolo County and the Davis Energy Group, as well as individual citizens and City commissioners. + + This informational meeting is a follow up to a forum held in June of 2008, where hundreds of citizens provided input and suggestions to the CAT in its effort to identify potential actions to reduce local greenhouse gas emissions. In a challenging process, the CAT has narrowed the potential actions down to a list of several dozen. Their recommended list will be forwarded to the City’s Natural Resources Commission and City Council this summer for further analysis and adoption. + + The meeting will begin with at 6:30 PM with a brief overview of the City’s continuing efforts to combat global warming followed by the presentation on the CAT’s work.
