Cost-Benefit Analysis of Global Warming

If anyone's ever read my rants on global warming, the primary point I continue to drive home is the cost-benefit analysis of doing something as opposed to nothing. Below is a video response to another video called Junk Science: Global Warming Myth Busted. The junk one is some couch potato doode with a fucking ball cap on trying to get all sciency on us. It's very looong, you can't see his power point, and to be honest, I didn't watch the whole thing. But let's assume what dirty hat guy says is true and what every free marketeer screams is true: That the worst possible scenario for action combating global warming is economic depression. However, you then must look at the worst possible scenario for doing NOTHING.That's what the video below does in simple terms. This video instead has a nerdy looking guy obviously holed up in his lab. I tend to favor the nerds as opposed to the goatee wearin' pieces of shit holed up in their living rooms. But that's just me.

Supreme Court Sides Against Bush In Global Warming Case

The Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases linked to global warming.

Frank O’Donnell of Clean Air Watch writes, “The
Supreme Court has confirmed that carbon dioxide can
be controlled under the Clean Air Act. That means
California and other states have the clear right to
limit greenhouse gas emissions if the Bush
administration won’t."


This is a great step forward. Now the same court that gave President Moron his job acknowledges that global warming is a real problem. Think Progress and SCOTUS Blog has more.

Boy it's hot out today. Must be that global warming. har har...

If you are a big conspiracy nut like I am, then you'll enjoy the House Oversight Hearing that was held this past Monday concerning Global Warming. They took testimony from Philip Cooney, the douchebag who would edit out NASA scientist James Hansen's reports to the gobment. Not only was Cooney NOT a scientist, but he's a lobbyist for the oil companies.

Anyway, Global Warming is such a huge hoax that the Pentagon has finally admitted that it's real and the House is actually holding totally major hearings that you can view here and here.
Check out this site for way more kick ass political TV.

Update:

Ooo! That commie Al Gore testified before Congress today.
