Follow the Money...

The past several days have seen several stories regarding AGW and in today's Times-Picayune an article stated that the European Union was going to start taxing airplanes beginning Jan. 1st. I've always said this debate was about money and not about saving the Planet. In this story, one wonders what will happen to the taxes? Where do they go? and who gets what? Do you trust government to handle new money wisely? And what happens when the next cooling cycle sets in? At a time when man could reduce/control World hunger, could control/reduce World over population, could control/reduce crime etc...no, the AGW alarmists want us to believe we can control the climate of our Planet and want us to spend billions(supporting their research) doing so. There is an agenda out there that says we must reduce our standard of living in order to save Mother Earth. I say lets control/reduce our personal pollution thru conservation and common sense. We don't need to give up many of the conveniences that make living easier, just reign in the excesses. What do you think?
