Back in 1500, we learn from a Princeton professor, the Aztecs figured the climate debate was over, and that if you wanted rain and sunshine and other such blessings, it was simple enough what you had to do – sacrifice 20,000 lives a year to the right gods.
In the year 2009, it's an equally sure thing in the minds of some that carbon in the atmosphere is going to fry us unless we put the welfare of millions on the line, and here is the latest on President Obama's plan – it could cost industry almost $2 trillion over an eight-year period.
Whoa! Wait a minute! Didn't Al Gore tell us the argument is over? Didn't Obama say all scientists are in agreement (especially the ones he puts in charge)? Climate change is the result of humans driving SUV's and barbecuing pigs with charcoal on July 4th. That's why they want to shut down the oil companies and electricity providers (with their evil smokestacks fueled by that nasty coal). It might cost a few $trillion but just wait until the government puts a windmill on the roof of your home (fueled by the hot air emanating from Washington, D.C.) and an electric car (recharged by running on your very own treadmill) in your garage.
