Global Warming Kyoto Protocol Just A Ruse for Political Agenda? - Politics

Dr. Sallie Baliunas of Harvard thinks changes in the magnetism of the sun are responsible for the escalating climate on Earth.

"When the sun's magnetism is strong, the sun's energy output is higher and the Earth is warmer," she said. "We can reconstruct [temperature records for the] Northern Hemisphere about 250 years or so. The ups and downs of temperature match almost exactly the ups and downs in magnetism." Baliunas doubts that man-made emissions contribute much to global warming.

Even if global warming is caused by industrial emissions, there is little likelihood the Kyoto treaty fully implemented, would do much, Lindzen said. "My own view, consistent with the panel's work, is that the Kyoto Protocol would not result in a substantial reduction in global warming."

But if implemented completely, the Kyoto Protocol would crush the U.S. economy. It would require the US to reduce power production as much as 25%. Continued...

If this reduction leads to long term efficiencies, even if we cant make a dent in Global Warming, it would yield overall cost values and more importantly, good karma. What do you think?
