Nevertheless, the Clinton Administration is proposing that fossil fuel emissions be reduced to 1990 levels. The Texas Cattle Feeders Association notes that many respected scientists are finding the notion of global warming a bunch of Washington hot air. Even if our very country didn't exist, carbon dioxide levels would still rise. But even if you believe we have a greenhouse gas problem, carbon dioxide will continue to rise globally - even if the United States vanished. If average temperatures show the climate cooling, as Baliunas suggests, liberal politicians and so-called environmentalists will try to take the credit somehow.
Somebody always is sure to put the blame for a problem that is theoretical on cows.
