Yes, Mare, that's the "bullship" being touted. In point of fact, increasing the quantity of radiant gases with an emissivity high in the infrared spectrum will eventually net you LESS weather instead of more due to the tendency for energy to move about within the system radiantly instead of convectively. "Radiantly" means that the energy moves about moreso as infrared (read: everything equalizes more easily), while "convectively" means that the energy moves with the fluid masses due to gravity. CO2, though, was NEVER supposed to be the primary driver--it was only supposed to be an amplifier to the water component as humidity is way-the-heck-and-gone the primary greenhouse gas. In the effort to continue pumping out the "bullship" to press for the legislation that they want, they've said a lot of different things.
No, sorry, but ALL of the proposed legislation has only ONE practical use: to get The Masses to use LESS carbon-based energy because of Peak Oil and other energy and mineral resource depletion scenarios. Period. End of story. If we all do it "willingly" to "Save the Planet" then maybe, just maybe, "They" can manage a controlled demolition of civilization instead of a free-for-all land and resource grab (unimaginable wars and chaos). Fact is, we're going down and there's nothing whatsoever that we can do to stop it. None of you on either side of the political fence is going to be too happy with the outcome regardless of who seems to be in control.
