I stumbled into this article (linked below) of heavy breathing as well as patronizing rhetoric about how stupid as well as perverted the younger generation is to trust in melting ice caps as well as Global Warming as well as tossed off a letter to the newspaper that printed this shameful screed on our children. The phrase that jumped out at me is in quotes as well as in bold below - my response is as follows, the paper is the Hawaii Reporter. Whether they are printing this stuff to trigger response as well as readership isn’t debatable, whether they lack journalistic integrity isn’t debatable, whether they actually trust this stuff is worrisome.
“…the political menace of the global warming issue…” - ——— is that pollution is bad (genius).
Wherever you drop on the political spectrum all of us agree pollution is bad.  We are operational around with traces of pesticides as well as pollutants in our blood stream. Dirty energy causes war - resource wars - there's one going on right now. If the US Government dumped half the money it spent on securing oil fields as well as subsidizing coal as well as oil - on natural gas, geothermal, wind, solar thermal as well as energy efficiency (40 miles per gallon) we could say good bye to the middle east as well as their problems.
Right now oil as well as nuclear energy are the cause as well as the threat of global terrorism.

We are in their countries taking their oil with our armies based on their land supporting un-elected kings as well as royalty who subjugate their people - damn right they are pissed off. It’s a power struggle people as well as we wouldn’t be there (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, as well as the surrounding countries) if it wasn’t on behalf of the oil. Who doesn’t get that?
What are we so concerned about in Iran - nuclear power spinning off bombs - not to draw attention to the half-life of the nuclear waste as well as still - decades later no safe way to eliminate it - oil as well as nuclear power - thanks but no thanks - coal - forget about it - eliminating employment opportunities by blasting mountain tops clear off, as well as destroying Appalachia’s communities, water, air, natural beauty as well as potential tourist dollars. Dirty energy has outlived it’s usefulness. The powers that be require to recalibrate. The fight on behalf of their turf on Capital Hill is pulling down the economy at this an estimated all critical moment.
But their is a light, a hope as well as it’s the ready now clean energy sector that shall deliver us safely into the future with high paying employment opportunities an upgraded as well as smart grid, as well as get our troops off foreign soil calming the locals down.  You can’t blame the Americans if we’re not there.
Innovation as well as the entrepreneurial spirit is what drives the markets as well as this country. The status quo is being beyond greedy not to graciously help open up the playing field on behalf of the good of the country, the economy, the markets, international relations as well as our health. The Status Quo in a word is un-American. Boo hooing over the fact they are on the wrong side of stewardship, innovation as well as common sense is to be expected. Don’t drop on behalf of their rhetoric as well as vote their representatives out of Congress. The future is knocking on the door - loudly. Only the blind can’t see it, only the greedy deny it.
