In light of all his giggles and inept remarks, Mr. Gallager added nothing to the story. GHG are those which, well you already know this and have your opinions about them.
What was his stand, well I only got that he and the major corperations he represents do not want to clean up their act and reduce GHG emissions. But Why?
Well I can only guess it must be profits, over humanity and morals.
But aside from this point of conjecture, I found something else quite wierd in his remarks and listen very closely to both sides. Soon I realized that the `Accord' he was hammering as bad, was the Kyoto Accord. Which every major industriallized nation, except America, China and Russia have signed. This accord has more to deal with HFC emissions than CO2.
HFC's and CFC's Florocarbon gases that distroy the ozone layer layers in the Earths Atmosphere. So what you say? Well with the ozone layer thinned, we get more skin cancer from exposure to it, the air becomes less humid and drier. More dessert like. Now Plants develope cancers just like we do. Soon leaf bearing trees and shrubbery die off. Less carbon is filtered out and it gets hotter.
Big deal, plant more trees and bushes. Okay WHO? You and me, or industry. I for one say, I am tired of picking up the check for someone that only wants to pay me minimum wage for four years of College.
He made the comment and so did many of you others, that China is the largest polluter of CO2 gas emissions. So what, and why is this a reason not to sign the accord. Well for starters, many of the companies in China are US and they make the gases CFC & HFC for use in air conditioning, process products manufactureing and areosal cans of hair spray, lacquer, paints and thousands of other products. It is a multy Billion Dollar industry that does not like being told they need to clean up.
