So is your point that because we don't know empirically whether or not we're having an effect on global warming, that we should just continue to dump pollutants into the environment, without any concern for the effects that they do have? I think common sense would dictate otherwise.
I'm not that concerned if I have to pay more, in order to clean up the waste and pollution that are wrecking the environment. I don't want my great grandchildren to have to live under a dome, because the atmosphere is too polluted to breathe. Again, it goes back to my first post... don't shit where you eat.

No, it's not just you, it is all the people who fail to grasp the basics of market economics. If industry has to spend billions of dollars cleaning up greenhouse gases, where do you think they are going to get the funds for that cleanup effort? From you, me, and everyone else in the form of higher prices for goods and services. There is no free lunch. Even so, this is all beside the point. Your entire argument rests on the assumption that we have any effect on global warming or cooling. Some of the most senior scientists in the world are highly skeptical about our effect on global warming and cooling. I am highly skeptical, and in this case I agree with a respected and experienced scientist like Dr. Gray rather than a snake oil salesman like Al Gore. People are going to look back in fifty years and wonder what all the fuss was about.
