Why, Yes? Because of the underlying basic lie: Legislation on imperfect, incomplete, inadequate data to prove the premise - carbon dioxide is increasing to cause global warming-. It is wrong for any government to be involved in prediction of unpredictable data. Remember, government - no matter what form it takes - can only act to: Control by Force, Demand, Rule, Take Money from its citizens; or in the case of the European Union, step on, push-down, or subjugate the sovereignty of its member Nations. Legislation, Laws, Regulations made under the wrongful input of data, of not considering data which must be considered can only result in the crash of the economies. "But, unfortunately, law by no means confines itself to its proper functions. And when it has exceeded its proper functions, it has not done so merely in some inconsequential and debatable matters. The law has gone further than this; it has acted in direct opposition to its own purpose. The law has been used to destroy its own objective: It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights which its real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder. "And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense.
How has this perversion of the law been accomplished? And what have been the results?
The law has been perverted by the influence of two entirely different causes: stupid greed and false philanthropy. Let us speak of the first. ...(Frederic Bastiat; The Law; Google)." This statement is 100% true for Proposition 32, "No on 23", as well as, Obama's Cap & Trade. False science or as is a better description: "science for the purpose of politicians"-regardless of location on the globe.
Both the "NO" and the "science for politicians jumbling of facts according to Saul Alinsky: "An organizer working in and for an open society is in an ideological dilemma to begin with, he does not have a fixed truth -- truth to him is relative and changing; everything to him is relative and changing.... To the extent that he is free from the shackles of dogma, he can respond to the realities of the widely different situations...." pp.10-11 of "Handbook for Liberals". The "Dogma" in this case is 'Scientific Method".
"Yes on 23" because the financial cost; the manipulation of fines setting one industry against another; the attempt to make a gas called CO2, mandatory for life on earth, a subject for government; is the best example of fools and frauds who must act against 'Truth'.
