The Constitution is the document that ensures us what the government can and cannot regulate. It also ensures us the right to choose what we can believe. I choose not to believe that Climate Change is going to affect the world the way that Mr. Gore claims it will. After all where did he get his degree in Climatology?

Oh. That's right the loudest proponents for fixing the problem are politicians or special interest groups. We know that politicians and special interests never have their own agendas.

My skepticism is based on the inability of the science community to agree about what is really going on. Has anyone noticed that not only do they not agree on if the globe is really warming but they can't agree in what would happen if the globe does get warmer? Some see Miami under water, while others see the rise in temperature actually evaporating more water and creating more snow and adding to the glaciers.

Where do they get these predictions? Computer models tell them what will happen. Granted they are super advanced computers, but a computer will still only do what a human tells it to do.

The political world has already decided without sufficient evidence that humans are the cause of Global Warming, and not just humans but Americans and all the carbon dioxide that we emit are the major source of the problem. The rest of the world has no blame in any of the Carbon Dioxide in the air. Asia produces more goods than anyone else in countries with no pollution standards.

South America and Africa have farmers burning the forests and cars with no emission testing. Really it is because the rest of the world thinks that we can flip the bill to fix the planet. Even if we can't even pay our own bills they think that if they convince us we are the problem enough, that we will start throwing money at new problems.

The fallout of the great climate debate is government regulation on everything we do. From what kind of light bulbs we use to the kind of washing machines and dryers we use. Not to mention they are already limiting our choice in vehicle. The regulations will not only be limiting but they will be financially crippling.

What happens when we see government getting involved in a problem that doesn't need fixing? We see our taxes skyrocket. So in the end we will be double billed for an environmental problem that we aren't even sure is our fault. We will be forced to buy products and services that we don't want, and then taxed when we buy them.
