Denver to crack down on residentsGlobal warming the latest excuse to take
rights away
This is what happens when dissent isn't allowed.
Rights go out the window. Denver is going overboard.
Denver is gearing up to fight global warming, and residents may soon be asked to make personal sacrifices to help save the planet. The new plan is aimed at making Denver a national leader in reducing gas emissions that have been linked to global warming, giving a major push to alternative energy, stepping up recycling and changing building codes to encourage energy conservation. But the proposal also contains some ideas that may be unpopular, such as penalizing heavy users of electricity and natural gas and basing auto insurance premiums on the number of miles traveled. They are messing with the free market again. That is going to hurt their economic base and that means lower tax revenue. This is one of those subjects that I feel like a sound clip to be played on cue. I'll sum it up again. There is no evidence that the existing weather changes are anything except a natural cycle. No one has established that human caused global warming actually exists, or that the "solutions" to global warming are anything except a backdoor for central economic control. If you want the full argument, I wrote a FAQ on the subject.
