Violates Exclusionary Principle of Governance
The EPG states that anything which is cost effective, affordable, efficient, has few negative elements and many positive ones and doesn't harm anyone or anything, is automatically excluded from consideration by government.
You think that I'm joking, but I'm not.
That is what the AGW fanatics don't get. Since the AGW movement is not and has never been about reducing average climatic temperature (since they know that elevated carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere is an after-effect of warming not the cause) but about using AGW as an EXCUSE for increasing government control and establishing a revenue stream for leftists - the ecoparanoids who run the AGW scam will NEVER permit a solution to the so-called "problem" of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
First and foremost, once the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere was reduced and temperatures CONTINUED to rise, the whole scam going back to its genesis in the sick mind of algore, would be revealed.
That would open algore and others to endless lawsuits for fraud, and permanently discredit countless leftist politicians who have built careers pedaling ecoparanoia to their constituents.
Second, the far left would lose a prime political talking point with which to bludgeon their opponents over the head - that conservatives and other non-leftists are "destroying the planet" (i.e., are bad people) so they should not be given political power.
Third, the push to gradually and increasingly usurp power from the private sector and enlarge government power/authority to regulate (control) the population with endless restrictions would be imperiled. As Michael Crichton pointed out in his anti-AGW book State of Fear, the far left and its allies needs the world's population to be in a perpetual state of fear, so that they will readily accept whatever insane, Draconian tyranny Statists impose upon them "for their own good". Without some "crisis" from which to "save" them, the People of the world would soon think that they didn't need bigger and bigger, more and more powerful government to "help" them and would insist on smaller, more efficient, less-corrupt governance.
I predict that if this technology turns out to be the real deal it will be made to disappear and the people who have created it will either be bought off, intimidated or murdered into silence permanently.
Make no mistake, the ecoparanoia movement is HUGE business and power brokers. They will not sit idly by and allow some scientist to ruin everything they have worked for over the decades without a serious fight.
