]]> Comment on Fast, Cheap and Out of Control: No Prompt Necessary. by onda http://blogs.elsweb.org/malbrooks/2007/07/18/fast-cheap-and-out-of-control-no-prompt-necessary/#comment-89 onda Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:24:53 +0000 http://blogs.elsweb.org/malbrooks/2007/07/18/fast-cheap-and-out-of-control-no-prompt-necessary/#comment-89 Interesting post, with the whole it's ok to deceive if the outcome is lessening pollution I am not convinced. If we are spending money time and effort on cleaning up pollution when it can be more effectively spent elsewhere that is just as bad as polluting too much. In other words if instead of spending money on cleaning up pollution we could more effectively spend money on restoring the polar bear population through a breeding program we should spend it there. The greatest example of this is how we regulate sulfur oxide now. We auction off permits to emit a ton of sulfur-oxide. Some environmental agencies chose to buy a few permits, but this turned out to be a small percentage of those bought. the permits ended up selling for around 156 dollars. It's not that these environmental agencies feel bad that they didn't buy more, they just felt they could do more spending their money elsewhere. If the threat of global warming is being presented by false information, and being blown out of proportion, than the environmental agencies would be spend more money on these permits thinking they were worth more. However this money would have been better spent on other things seeing as this perceived cost was only fabricated. It's hard to come to terms with the idea that too much pollution is just as bad as too little pollution, but in that way we cannot dismiss propagandizing falsely for global warming as ok. Just to let everyone know I was merely playing devil's advocate with the global warming comment.
