Perhaps you should re-read what followed post #8. what part of it do you think I ignored?

Now, let's look at this "if we push for more environmental regulations, our economy will suffer" argument in its historical context.
Straw man argument. Being against this legislation does not mean one is against all environmental regulations. Also, an honest discussion involves an objective look at trade offs and making informed decisions. In some cases environment regulation is clearly well worth the price. In the case of this legislation we will spend billions, hurt our economy and standards of living to, assuming there is an impact, lowering the average global temperature by a hypothetical .1 degree F. No honest objective case has been presented to justify this legislation, all they have done is use fear, by saying we will destroy the planet unless we do what they want, gee - that is a bad way to make decisions!
