Anthropogenic Climate Change

Let's discuss fouling our nest.:(

Give us the rundown on best solutions.

When I look around Detroit I see the poisonous environmental effects of Keynsian economics mixed with laissez-faire capitalism. That recipe has chewed up a lot of green space as the suburbs and new tech grow out from the city center. Meanwhile the city has been left to decay.

The left seems to be focused on regulating carbon cost as a solution. IMO that just creates an artificial ceiling that can be lifted, for a fee to the market holders, anytime we need jobs. Carbon regulation would be a modern spin on the old tax for moving goods.

Heineken on this end. :D

Did you catch TD's post on AK about unions? It is near the end of the Hostess thread.

I like the way he thinks. He seems like a Reagan Democrat from 1980s era Detroit.

How about requiring Georgia Pacific to replant the stripmined western forests on Federal land. Coniferous forests sequester carbon at an amazing rate and we always need more 2x4's.

Tell us more about the situation and/or give us a link or two.

Forestry companies used to show us advertisements with hotties in hard hats replanting saplings. Were the ads deceptive? :D

Of course those ads were utterly cynical bullshit:confused:. Wiki-up clear cutting to start.

I would like to see Georgia Pacific and their compadres be required to mitigate the damage that they've done on public lands back to the date of their incorporation or whenever they started harvesting publically owned timber.;)

I just r-click whatever verbiage I'm interested in and search with Google, almost every first link is wikipedia. But you prob already know this..:)
