Lloyd J asked in EnvironmentGlobal Warming · 9 years ago

Can you explain HFC-23 to me?

http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/ddoniger/the_cur...

It appears that the bureaucratic system the UN setup to curb CO2 emissions has backfired in their face. It has effectively increased carbon emission worldwide, while funneling millions of dollars into companies that are ripping off those who believe in the value of the system. When will the marxist tyrants give up on these rampantly corrupt methods of getting what they want.

Update:

John W. You sound like those who claim that Marxism will eventually work if we just get the right set of rules in place. Sorry that is not true. Freedom works far better than politicians setting up false rules to create false incentives. Do you remember the set of rules California setup to try and control the power companies about 8 years ago. Same problem.

    Your thoughts on this are correct. It has unquestionably caused some people to get rich and all of us to get poorer. It uses more energy. It shows that saving the earth is not what is on the greenies' minds. It is rather saving their pocketbooks and emptying ours.

    Quote by Tom McElmurry, meteorologist, former tornado forecaster in Severe Weather Service: “Governmental officials are currently casting trillions down huge rat hole to solve a problem which doesn’t exist....Packs of rats wait in that [rat] hole to reap trillions coming down it to fill advocates pockets....The money we are about to spend on drastically reducing carbon dioxide will line the pockets of the environmentalists....some politicians are standing in line to fill their pockets with kick back money for large grants to the environmental experts....In case you haven’t noticed, it is an expanding profit-making industry, growing in proportion to the horror warnings by government officials and former vice-presidents.”

    Anytime rules are laid out, people will find ways around those rules. It was inevitable that any attempt to incentize the destruction of certain chemicals may have the exact opposite effect as is the case with R-22 and R-23. It doesn't mean that the attempt at regulations was inappropriate, just insufficient and needs to be modified. The alternative is to not do anything at all and suffer the consequences. The difference is to try or be a useless idiot, apparently you've chosen the latter.

    The article states: "A small group of carbon offset projects under the climate treaty is reaping billions of dollars in windfall profits while worsening both global warming and depletion of the ozone layer"

    It sounds to me that the program is working perfectly. Only those naive enough to believe that the man-made Global Warming Hoax is really about saving the planet would think the program has gone wrong.

    But reasonable and informed people know there is no man-made Global Warming in the first place and it's all a SCAM to gain power and money.

    Their program is working perfectly. It's doing exactly what it was designed to do.

    Man-made Global Warming is a HOAX... see why below:
