Do you think the CO2 emissions would have been cured had there been no
hystericals?
What has panic and mindless blather ever solved?
Tell me one thing that hysterics have ever cured?

I was not referring to hysterics, but rather, to "hysterics", and should
have quoted the word originally. People opposed to environmental
safeguards call them hysterics in the same way that people opposed to
airport closures refer to "noise nazis".

In that sense, "hysterics" (legitimage drawing of attention to the
damage we are causing to our and our neighbor's environment) have cured
many things. I am most grateful to the "hysterics" of the 1960s for the
relatively clean air we breathe today. One only has to go to parts of
Europe to breathe the difference (at least when I was last there).

As for whether CO2 needed to be "cured", that's not my point. The
statement was made that it =was= cured (along with other things
including doubling the gas milage), proving that the "hysterics" were
unnecessary. I do not see any such proof demonstrated by the facts
presented (which I will stipulate), especially as the "cure" was likely
to be costly, and business doesn't like costly things.
