[quote user="eastside"]  [quote user="futuremodal"]Not sure what your reference to Vanuatu has to do with anything.  How would anti-coal legislation affect them?  As far as I know, they don't have a coal industry there.[/quote]That's a joke on my part.  I guess I should have put a smiley in there since it wasn't obvious enough.  The Vanuatus are a group of low-lying corral atolls in the Pacific Ocean which are a popular tourist destination and are threatened by inundation by rising sea levels, presumably caused by global warming.  Recently a group from there was in Washington to pressure Congress to get a move on to control CO2 emissions.  If they go under there won't be any business for tour operators.  That's one of the few industries obviously affected, and which will be obliterated, by the way, by global warming that I'm aware of![/quote]No, it was obvious, just that this ongoing concern about Vanuatu disappearing under rising seas is one of the poster children for exemplifying this GW nonsense.  If you've read Michael Crichton's excellent novel "State of Fear", you'll remember that the plot revolved around Vanuatu suing the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide so that their little paradise won't disappear under the sea.  But once the case comes to pre-trial, the researchers discover that the GW claims are nonsense and wouldn't stand up in court, so the GW proponents turn to the creation of man-made disasters to get a public outcry for GW solutions.Methinks these Vanuatuians are really trying to get some compensatory cash from the US taxpayers under the guise that our CO2 emissions might cause their island to go under.  It's a global scam, this GW idiocy.
