[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill</i> <br /><br />Dave (futuremodal): <br /> <br />A debate on global warming is hopelessly off-topic for this forum, only the discussion of how carbon emissions, etc., would affect railroads, and for that question one doesn't have to prove global warming is fact or fancy, just posit it as a "what if" and consider the consequences. Continuing it in this forum is harmful, I think. I'm not going to promulgate this off-topic debate further, so I deleted the post you responded to, and I apologize for leading you into it in my zeal to respond to Modelcar's questions. E-mail me if you wi***o continue what I think should be a discussion in another forum, or a private exchange, and when I have time, I'll be glad to respond off-forum. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I'll just say this to stay on topic: The global warming debate (and specifically the caveats in the Kyoto Treaty) can have serious implications for the rail industry, and if the current bandwagon of junk science makes its way into legislation, the economy (and the railroads) will suffer.
