And if economic freedom was not a barrier, protecting the environment, eh?? And even if it were the solution, eh??
Consider four groups, one group representing the savings that are less free and the fourth group representing economies which are more free! What do you think will be the index of environmental quality, for these four groups there, with 100 representing a score that is perfect, eh?? Note that the said index was calculated by researchers at Yale University and by researchers at Columbia University!
The index of environmental quality in the first group is 64.5, the second group is 71.6, the third group is 76.5 and the fourth group was 84.8 !
Here, now, how are doing these four groups regarding the life expectancy!
Life expectancy in the first group is 59.40 years, the second group was 66.68 years, the third group is 71, 57 and the fourth group was 79.12 years! !
Economic freedom: to live longer, all in an environment that is healthy !
This reality had been very well described in this article in The New York Times!
In the long run, economies that are the richest will be the greenest on the planet, says author, journalist John Tierney! I know that this prediction seems to be hard to believe when one considers the amount of carbon that is spilled today into the atmosphere by the Americans, let alone projections show increasing emissions of India and those of China, while they get richer!

As their wealth increases, people consume more energy, but they move, using energy sources that are more effective and which are cleaner : they move from wood to coal and they move from oil to natural gas, to finally move towards nuclear energy, as and when they emit less carbon per unit of energy!
decarbonization trend worldwide has increased at a rate that is remarkably stable since 1850, according to Jesse Ausubel of Rockefeller University and according to Paul Waggoner of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station !
According to eco-doom, our way of life creates such a level of pollution that the very survival of our planet is in peril! It tries to convince us that our grandparents lived in a world that was better and was free from pollution!
Yet today, are emitted into the environment, 2 to 5 times less heavy metals in the early 1900's! That situation is explainable by the replacement of coal by energy sources that are more effective and which are cleaner !
For some catastrophic, pollution that is caused by economic growth in China, does that pestilence and desolation !
Yet, life expectancy in China is not decreasing! In fact, it increases so that is spectacular, especially since 1990, the year that marked the beginning of the wave of globalization!
Between 1980 and 1985, life expectancy in China was 66.6 years! Between 1985 and 1990 it was 67.1 years! Between 1990 and 1995 it was 68.1 years! Between 1995 and 2000 it was 69.7 years! Between 2000 and 2005 it was 71.5 years! Between 2005 and 2010 it was 72.6 years!
course the pollution caused by economic growth, may cause health problems! However, growth Economic allows also to improve the health of the Chinese, by raising their standard of living!
Overall, the polluted air of a company that is growing is better than the pure air of a society that is poor!
By the way, in a society that is poor, the air is far from being pure! Heating with wood or coal heating, in particular, causes people to breathe smog, in an amount which is considerable, not to mention the emissions that come from manufacturing, which uses technology that is primitive!
Automobiles, paper and incinerators all use a technology that is modern and it shows!
can not find clean air in societies that are rich! After a certain level of economic development, pollution decreases, because the company has now afford to pay for clean air, by investing in technologies that are appropriate!
short, the more an economy grows, pollution subside, to then disappear! The higher the wealth of a society increases, the environmental quality is improving! It is mathematically !

speech catastrophic hyper-environmentalists is trying to make us forget the significant reductions of air pollution have been recorded since 1990! This is normal because, for us to impose their socialist agenda, environmentalists need to make us forget the tremendous progress that were made with a speech hyper-catastrophic !
How do we produce our electricity, worldwide, huh?? Here the evolution of electricity production by killowattheure billion in 1980 and 2005!
In 1980, production of electricity with thermal energy, like coal, oil, oil and gas, was at 69.6%! In 2005, production was 66.0%, a decrease of 5.2%!
In 1980, electricity production with hydro-electric power was at 21.5%! In 2005, production was 16.7%, a decrease of 22.1%!
In 1980, production of electricity with nuclear power was at 8.5%! In 2005, production was 15.1%, an increase of 177.5%!
In 1980, production of electricity with alternative energy such as wind, geothermal and solar ENARGAS was at 0.4%! In 2005, production was 2.1%, an increase of 549.7%!
In 2004, 24,000 Americans died because of the pollution that was generated by coal plants! Regarding nuclear power, he made victims 0!
A family of four uses of nuclear energy, lifetime, produce, just, enough waste to fill a cup of coffee! The same family that uses this time, electricity is produced from coal, will produce 68 tons of waste !
Nuclear energy is it the future?? All indications are that yes !
But, here, is Greenpeace against nuclear !
organization (note: Greenpeace) said he was against any new nuclear power plant and it requires even the closure of existing ones, says Patrick Moore, founder of Greenpeace! If we closed today, all nuclear power plants, electricity should be produced elsewhere, in many plants fueled by coal, as well as to natural gas, and emit hundreds of millions of metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions!
To fight against the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, he says, environmentalists are a major obstacle, which we must face! They are opposed to solutions that are, by far the most effective! They are against the construction of new hydroelectric dams, in addition to being against nuclear energy, the energy that would prevent construction of coal plants and building natural gas plants !

By the way, I spoke a bit of free trade, in my last post! I discovered something very good about it and I would like to share!
At the signing of free trade between Canada and the United States, many people feared that the free movement of goods between both countries then, turns Canada into a giant trash Americans !
It is clear that this is exactly the reverse happened, because, in 2009, transfers of industrial waste from Canada to the United States totaled 115,000 tons, while shipments of industrial waste from U.S. to Canada totaled 16 000 tons!
In a treaty of free trade, the biggest player is not necessarily the one who imposes his will! Again, it was loaned to the Americans, false intentions, evidence that the rantings anti-free trade are more motivated by an anti-American sentiment as a virtuous "social conscience"! It is believed that one is green, just to give a moral reason of being anti-American !
I finish this post, ceding the floor to Richard Lindzen, a professor of atmospheric science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and one of the climate skeptics who are best known in the world!
The notion of an environment which is static and is still is foreign to the history of the Earth and that of all other planets are surrounded by an envelope that is fluid! That people who have advanced, therefore, have succumbed to the hysteria about changes of a few tenths of a degree that deviate from the average global temperature, will certainly, without doubt, no surprise future generations!
Such hysteria reflects, above all, the scientific illiteracy of much of the public, its vulnerability to repeat that replaces truth and exploitation of these weaknesses by politicians, by environmentalists and after 20 years of hype, with many other interest groups!
Now, 14 years, there has been no net global warming that was statistically significant! The alarmists argue that some of these years were the warmest ever to have occurred took place during the last decade! Given that we are indeed in a period which is relatively hot, it is not surprising, but it does not, however, to draw conclusions about future trends!
Moreover, other factors have an impact that is much more important than global warming, on any situation that is specific! Natural disasters have always occurred and there is no evidence that it will be more or less, often the case in the future! Fighting global warming with symbolic gestures that are, nothing will change that reality!
History teaches us, rather than economic prosperity, as well as economic development, increase substantially, the adaptability and resilience of humanity, to such disasters!
can reasonably wonder about the reasons of public concern about this, and in particular the rise of scaremongering, in recent years! However, when an issue like global warming, is themed, for so long, it is expected that many interest groups trying to exploit!
interest of the environmental movement in acquiring more power, more influence and more donations seems to be obvious! Politicians, they perceive the possibility of tax increases as widely accepted because they would be required to "save" Earth! Several states are trying, also, to exploit this theme, hoping to derive benefits that are competitive! However, things take on the appearance which is even more absurd!
The case of former Texas energy company Enron, before it goes bankrupt, is emblematic! Before disintegrating into a firework of accounting manipulations that were unscrupulous, Enron was one of the lobbyists who were most active in promoting the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol! The company had hoped and be able to negotiate Certificates of CO2 emissions and it was not a forlorn hope, since the certificates could exceed a trillion dollars and the commission could represent several billion dollars!
Hedge funds look now, actively opportunities to participate in this trade, as did Lehman Brothers, which is, in the meantime, late, too! Goldman Sachs, no less, bound for the legal limitation of CO2 emissions, the trading of certificates and it seems to be well positioned to benefit, to the tune of billions of dollars! The famous activist Al Gore himself is associated with such activities!
The sale of certificates is booming: several organizations began selling offsets for CO2 emissions, while recognizing, at times, its futility, for the climate! The potential for corruption is huge!
Archer Daniels Midland, which is the largest agro-business in the United States, has, for example, engaged successfully in favor of the legal requirements of ethanol for gasoline! The resulting demand for ethanol has contributed to a sharp increase corn prices and, consequently, an increase of misery for consumers in countries that are developing!
With all these issues, it is understandable that the possibility that warming may, in fact, not be significant causes a new sense of urgency, even panic! Worse still, the prospect that humans did not influence who is discernible climate seems unthinkable!
For those whose interests are most material, the need to act quickly, before the public does not realize the reality is real! The waste of resources to fight, symbolically, the evolution of a climate that was always in motion, not a mark of prudence! The notion that Earth's climate has reached his level of perfection, the mid-twentieth century is no more a sign of intelligence !
Incidentally, for those and for those who want to know the economic consequences of agricultural subsidies for ethanol production, I suggest you read this !
