Arizona Quits Western Climate Initiative (Says Cutting Carbon Dioxide & Greenhouse Gases is Too Expensive)

I am certainly not convinced of the science that is put out by the Al Gore camps and allies. While I certainly believe that we need to reduce our pollution as much as possible, I do not believe the solution to pollution reduction is to pay taxes to the global banks for the right to live. Why do the climate changers only seem to focus on the "pollution" that are essential parts of the life cycle like carbon?

Carbon dioxide is only one of the many gases in the atmosphere and it is arguable that carbon dioxide's effect on the planet's temperature is minimal at best. Yet, we rarely hear about reducing other more deadly pollutions and gases. No, it is only carbon, carbon, carbon.

Why not just have everyone on the planet plant one (1) tree? That would add 6 billion plus trees to the world and that would certainly decrease the carbon dioxide, because those trees would convert the carbon dioxide into oxygen that we can breathe.
It would certainly not require us to pay a tax and increase the cost of living for everyone on the planet.

Similarly, Arizona says that regulating its carbon and greenhouse gases will be too expensive. Therefore, the State is planning to quit the Western Climate Initiative. I expect other States to follow suit once these States realize that they will be taxed on the right to simply exist when carbon footprints are regulated.

Arizona will no longer participate in a groundbreaking attempt to limit greenhouse-gas emissions across the West, a change in policy by Gov. Jan Brewer that will include a review of all the state's efforts to combat climate change.

Brewer stopped short of pulling Arizona out of the multistate coalition that plans to regulate greenhouse gases starting in 2012. But she made it clear in an executive order that Arizona will not endorse the emission-control plan or any program that could raise costs for consumers and businesses.
