Perhaps I haven't been following this thread with the attention required to nail down every detail, but I have no idea what you're talking about at this point, licker.

The 'laws' I refer to in the analogy with murder are regulations undertaken to reduce harmful emissions. The strawman I'm talking about rises up in your latest post. It's the assumption you think your opponents hold, namely that we can somehow control the climate from the top-down. Thus you argue, impertinently: "We can't completely control it, therefore we shouldn't try."

Nobody's saying that we can control the climate. But we can control *our* behavior in order to put less stress on it. The fact that you seem to be in favor of at least some regulations like this make me unsure what you're after now, except for annoyance with Al Gore.
