AW: [ RadSafe ] Re: Global Warming

[Franz Schönhofer]

Thanks Cary,

This is one of the examples, how to solve different opinions (not only) at
RADSAFE! I hope I was politely enough to ask for a translation (for those
fortunately very few US-hardliners on RADSAFE probably not servilely
enough). Please may I ask RADSAFERs to formulate their messages in such a
way, that even foreigners with 55 years of experience in English might
understand their comments. (Actually this is the first time in many, many
years that I face this problem.) 

Are we going to run around with respirators which count the CO2 we emit and
tax us. We would be not far from one terrible (and great) science fiction
movie, where people have a certain account of food, calories, energy, light
etc. And when this is exhausted they are collected by a special police to
die.  

Thanks for all the Greens to put us further to such visions.

Franz

Fortunately, being from the U.S., I am conversant in at least two languages:
'merkin and american....  (three if you count the dominant dialect of
canadia)

He appears to be saying that since the EPA is considering anthropogenic
greenhouse gasses to be a pollutant, one should make every attempt to reduce
ones personal greenhouse gas emissions.  To accomplish this one can do the
following: avoid carbonated beverages; use products such as Beano that are
purpoted to reduce methane emissions from ones personal tailpipe; and if
those steps are not effective in reducing ones personal emissions, the EPA
might step in with a fine for your personal emission of CO2.  ;-)

Best regards,
Cary

This is an international list. I have refrained from commenting, because I
simply do not regard myself competent in this field (though I have an
opinion)- unfortunately dozens of other clearly incompetents had the
impression that they were competent - I except those who made reasonable and
common sense arguments. But at an international list one cannot expect that
something like your "message" can be understood - it sounds like brabbling
of a drunk person. I hope it is not and that you will forward a
"translation" into English or if you prefer to American English. 

Best regards,

Give up the soda and please take your BEANO...I guess the powers that be
will have the fine us all for breathing...
