QUOTES
"It's been estimated that for every $5-$11.5 billion in regulatory costs, one person dies prematurely each year. Assuming it costs $200 billion per year to stabilize our greenhouse gas emissions, between 17,000 and 40,000 Americans could die prematurely. Sadly, such a sacrifice would be made despite the fact that both satellite and weather balloon data indicate that the temperature of the planet has been declining over the past 18 years."

"Evidence suggests that even if global warming does occur, it could be beneficial... Global warming would mean more condensation and more evaporation, producing more and/or heavier rains. With one-third of the world's population currently suffering chronic water shortages, global warming could save billions of people from malnutrition, economic despair, or even death... Global warming could also mean greater agricultural productivity and greater water conservation as CO2 acts as a fertilizer on plant life while reducing plant transpiration."
