Whether or not climate change is the impacted by human activity, does any disagree that reducing pollution will lead to a better quality of life?

"Even low levels of lead can cause brain damage, increasing the

likelihood of behavioral and cognitive traits such as impulsivity,

aggressiveness, and low IQ that are strongly linked with criminal

behavior. The NYTimes has a story on how the phasing out of leaded gasoline starting with the Clean Air Act in 1973 may have led to a 56% drop in

violent crime in the US in the 1990s. An economics professor at Amherst

College, Jessica Wolpaw Reyes, discovered the connection and wrote a

paper comparing the reduction of lead from gasoline between states(PDF) and the reduction of violent crime. She constructed a table

linking crime rates in every state to childhood lead exposure in that

state 20 or 30 years earlier. If lead poisoning is a factor in the

development of criminal behavior, then countries that didn't switch to

unleaded fuel until the 1980s, like Britain and Australia, should soon

see a dip in crime as the last lead-damaged children outgrow their most

violent years."

Climate change?

Of course there's legitimacy but there is a much more compelling counter argument endorsed by 174 out of 194 national governments.

You can't tell me that 174 countries, 36 of them "developed" nations would waste money on something like this without considerable evidence.

So are you extrapollating that the other governments are not as screwed up and as self serving as ours?

 

 

 

 

 

This is one specific report with a high profile. Normally when a report like this surfaces, there are numerous sources sponsered by the Global Warming groups that debunk the findings or throw mud at the people involved. How often have we seen in the old CH the attack on the guy that founded the weather channel as being only a meteorologist and not a "real" scientist? Part of a finge group?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the most recent report forwarded that would seem to have the "teeth" (accredited professionals) in support of the NON Global warming crowd I have seen. I am looking for a specific source that countradicts this report. Not some You Tube crap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would suggest that the EU in particular is less susceptible to lobbying than the US Congress which primarily seems to exist to serve the needs of big business and the labor unions.

I assume that you are trying to make a point. Otherwise you could have used this site.

Do I get any points?

My point is simple, I am looking for the condemnation from the Global Warming group againest this report.

 

Your point is simple - but quite aggressively made. We in the CH are not used to such aggression.

Of course the report is valid.  Given enough money I could find the .0001% of the earth's scientists who will dispute that the earth is round.  But unlike the Senator whose huge personal stake in the oil industry consumes his entire political agenda, I have no personal stake in the earth being flat.  Hence, my report would be more meaningful.
