Comments on: Cities to count emissions with Carbon Disclosure Project

More than 21 cities are joining what may be the largest effort to understand how urban centers contribute to climate change.

The earth has not warmed in recent years, and is in fact cooler now than it was 15 years ago, so does that mean we won "the fight"? Here in California, we are being inundated with public service ads that talk about having to believe we are "feeling like we are doing something" and other such non-scientific, border-line religious sentiment. It's now become about self-importance and being "part of something bigger than ourselves" rather than actual science. It's quite scary when you see how quickly people come to accept an unproven fallacy and embrace it as a belief system.

But we have to start asking why we are wasting so much time and effort on carbon emissions when they are proving to have little to no impact on climate, when there are real pollution and environmental problems out there. Not to mention that some of the "cures" for carbon emissions will lead to other, more permanent environmental problems such as deforestation for increased ethanol production, windmills wiping out bird species, etc.

We need to explore more about carbon emissions before sinking major money into it.

You are 100% wrong and have no credible support for your denier's point of view. Fortunately the state of California is much smarter and more honest than you are and is working through AB32 and other progressive, nation-leading laws to reduce our carbon output to 1990 levels.

The United Nations and all the world's great climate scientists agree that man-made climate change is taking place and that we have approximately 10 years to change the deadly carbon-based economy to a renewable energy economy.

Every single one of the lame objections you have raised has been debunked repeatedly by proven science.

We have 8 years of the Bush administration following your POV as proof of how wrong and harmful it is.

The only thing that is "actually scary" are that people like you exist and are spreading your right wing ignorance and carbon collaborator propaganda.
