I believe this global warming business is a pile of crap. It is just another way for governments like Australia and China to put up a Carbon Tax and just steal money from their citizens.
Because it inconveniences you does not invalidate the scientific community's overwhelming acceptance that climate change is occurring. Unless you have a few credentials under your belt showing that you specialize in climatology and can refute all the claims scientists in this field have made, neither you nor I have the competence to refute their conclusions. You are offering an opinion, not fact. And as I've observed repeatedly, opinion rarely has any basis in reality.
But let's for a second ignore climate change, and instead focus on other aspects of the burning of fossil fuels. Doing so has an extremely detrimental effect on the economy in terms of health care costs. More and more people are being diagnosed with lung related illnesses, including asthma and lung cancer than can be attributable to smoking alone. We humans have drastically altered the quality of air in the atmosphere, directly impacting on the lives of millions of people. Treating these illnesses costs billions annually, money that directly affects the economy.
I take public transit, and I drive an ebike when the weather is favourable. I recycle constantly, even things people normally would through away, such as milk cartons or even toilet paper rolls. All of it goes into recycling. I do whatever I can to reduce or eliminate my dependance on pollution causing energy sources. The power for my house, for instance, is mostly generated by large generators found under Niagara falls, the rest by nuclear power, and a small percentage of coal-fire plants. We will be installing solar panels on our roof in the near future, which will greatly reduce our energy costs because the power we'd generate would go back into the grid. The power company, in effect, would be paying us to supply power. That's a nice thought.
You may think your governments efforts are a scam, designed to milk your country's citizens of all they are worth, but what you fail to realize is that if they don't do something, it is your future generations that will suffer the consequences. I would suggest, instead of complaining, do something to help your government find alternative solutions to the growing problems caused by human beings filling the air with toxic chemicals.
