Carbon Dioxide

Now that I am back why should I stop with foolish borrowers and lenders?

Many people believe that Global Warming is an issue and most believe it is being caused by Carbon Dioxide. I tend to believe and think that even if CO2 isn't causing global warming it sure isn't doing us any good. Like many others I don't personally want to have to suffer to reduce CO2 emmissions even though that is unrealistic so here are a few suggestions:

Ban any and all additional car registrations beyond those already on the books. If you want a new car you have to remove an old one from the rolls to make room for your new one. Sure this will further bury the car companies but they have made their fortunes by polluting the world and we will all have to give up something to make this work.

Emissions controls should be tightened at the same time.

How long would it take someone to come up with a CO2 free car after that law goes into effect? Electric Cars don't really count, that electricity requires power plants who produce CO2 as well so they don't slip by.

New power plants that produce CO2 should be banned along the same lines. You dismantle one you can build a new one that can produce up to some % of the old plant. If you can produce more electricity with 80% less emmissions then go right ahead.

The US can't influence other countries to improve their situations unless we share in the pain.
