I'm all for protecting our planet. My father told me of alterantive fueled vehicles(electric)in the '60's. He grew up in the Detroit area and his father worked for Ford. The BIg Three put out these vehicels for real world tests and when they surpassed every goal that was set they snatched them up and trashed them never to hear of such things again. What a shame.

These higher impositions on companies for CO2 emissions turns back to the consumer in higher prices. Much the reason we can't get a good reliable American car for less than $20k. And all of other consumer products go up in price too. Instead NAFTA opened our borders for companies to flee to Mexico to make their products union and regulation free. They make a killing because they still sell at the same price, now with lower overhead.

If we continue to bow to the world and accept the brunt of the responsibility to lessen greenhouse gasses, we will soon become a Third World country, importing all we need because farmers will cause too much emissions harvesting crops. The cattle industry will flop because our cows have gas. And our love of the open road and dependance to cars will set us over the edge because they will be the largest producer of greenhouse gas.

I long for the day we have a President that will stand up to the world and say, we won't due it until everyone is on board.

The problem with the idea of "environmental protection" is that it is NEVER about protecting the environment. The liberal elitists, statists, and blatant socialists (for example, the sitting POTUS) all espouse the thin veneer of "environmental protection" when their true meaning is absolute, totalitarian control over every aspect of humanity. This climate change nonsense, beginning and ending with the patently-false allegation that mankind has anything more than a miniscule effect on Earth's environment, is simply another route that the Left is plowing in a power play to strip away our fundamental human rights and replace them with a 'unified global state' that mandates the behavior of each of its citizens.

I agree with Tony B that much of the problem with keeping American production at home in America stems directly from governmental interference and regulation. The answer is not, nor shall ever be, this cap-and-tax malarkey that our government seems hell-bent on imposing on the country, despite the opposition of an overwhelming majority of our country's citizens.

And yet, we have a President and Congress that rush to Copenhagen (which, as an ironic aside, may 'suffer' from its first white Christmas in over a decade... Global warming at work, eh?) to sell our nation's future to the poorest nations of the world, which, incidentally, are led by the Chavez's and Mugabe's of the Left, who would reduce all of the Earth's population to simpering fools suckling at the bosom of the once-prosperous peoples of the world.

I long for the day that we have a President that will not apologize to anyone that dares to complain about our efforts to thwart Nazism, Communism, Socialism, et al. I also long for a day that we have a President who will not shame his office and our country by prostrating himself like a sycophantic twit in front of foreign dignitaries, instead, our President should proudly stand erect, representing the greatest nation on the face of the Earth, bowing to NO ONE, not now, not ever. Our president should stand up to the world not to say: "We won't until everyone else does..." rather, he should say: "We're doing things this way, and if you don't like it...We don't care!"

If the world doesn't like how we approach our problems, then the world no longer warrants our assistance or aid... Out of the joke that is the 'United Nations'... Certainly out of the punchline that is 'summits' like Copenhagen...

Bring back the Constitution!

I am not convinced, no matter how many climate models scientists develop that humans can affect to such a degree the earth that it is necessary to alter everyone's standard of living to the detriment of developed countries and the advantage of poor countries. Paying a penalty like buying indulgences is not going to improve anything, it will line up the pockets of corrupt dictators. Besides, now that so much fraud has been revealed in the "scientific progressive" community, is it not time to have a healthy debate instead of trying to beat the liberals' point of view down our throats?

The hypocrisy of environmentalists is so obnoxious, especially when Pelosi, Kerry, Gore and their ilk are traveling to Copenhagen in private jets.

Thank you, God, for sending cold weather and snow in Copenhagen, slapping the global change nuts in the face.

So much for regressives' non-violent protests that only Fox News covers while the rest of the media is totally silent. If there were peaceful protests coming from conservatives, I am sure they would have been labeled anti-American and Nazi-like by the socialist media.
