You're going to break my irony meter.
I told you early on we wouldn't convince the other to change their
position/belief any you devolve this discussion into ad hominem.
sarcasmShocking./sarcasm That's the pattern observed time after time
with this topic.
Some folks like to believe in magical beings; others like to believe humans
have the power to change global climate. I'll wait for the evidence for
either.

____________________
This is the typical browbeating behavior that marks the true believers
in this "crisis."
We're supposed to believe that "going green" will require only minor
modifications to our daily behavior, with only minor inconveniences.
One poster suggested "Wind Power" as a viable replacement power
source.
What's unmentioned is wind power's impact on migrating birds, scenic
vistas, and native bats . We have a new "wind farm" being built on
Laurel Ridge, and we have several others in the surrounding area. Huge
tracts of mature forest growth are flattened to emplace these
monstrosities -- the watershed and bear and deer and grouse habitat is
now overshadowed by huge turbines.
Also unmentioned is how solar power can be a viable energy source
where the sun shines an average of 90 days a year.
If we think that our nasty, polluting, unregulated, non-emission
tested internal combustion and turbine engines we rely on to power our
aircraft wouldn't be pulled from the skies for the sake of the
children by the "enlightened majority," then we certainly are deluded.
Of course, certain celebrities, rocks stars, and Oscar Winning
Political blowhards would be exempt, so they continue leading the
cause.
