Yes lets sign more legislation which is based on supposition and opinion and not facts. More smiling people who are mindless about what "global warming" actually is. And worst of all. to have a supposed quality based organization support the trite ramblings of this farce. Quality digest should be ashamed of even considering to print such an article. Why do they support those who are attempting to institute the Hegelian doctrine?

Global warming if a farce. Do your homework. You are supposed to be quality people. Where is the root cause analysis? I have performed the root cause analysis to the farce coined "global warming" and have found it to be nothing more than repackaged Karl Marx metabolic rift. The true name (for any real quality who care to scratch below the surface) is biospheric rift. Yes its the establishment of the communist authors ideals related to state control and taxing. Why isn't the quality industry (worst those that claim to be auditors), calling these people out for their non factual claims? Why does a parodical who claims to be quality oriented, not focusing on truth and facts? Why do they support completed supposition and opinion based articles such as this?

Ladies and gentlemen if you do not stand up against the institution of these broad non-factual claims and systems, then you have no right to claim to be quality oriented. Karl Marx and his Hegelian based systems, have been proven wrong time and again (many facts exist to support this). Why would we not as a quality profession, tell the government where they are incorrect and point them down the road toward the implementation of quality management based systems?

What about the quality profession focusing the government on defining their processes, roles, RESPONSIBILITIES, documentation. How about getting the government involved in lean and removing all the non-value added activities, which the government undertakes. It seems as though this would be the direction the quality profession should be taking. Instead, what I am seeing is more of this profession, throwing away their principals and hopping on the big green bandwagon of Karl Marx. Just remember, when the regulators (financial auditors) came to congress over 3 years ago to warn them of the financial improprieties discovered of freddie mac and fannie mae, the senate banking committee called the liars and ran them away. The end result was a 30% loss of housing value and a 50% or greater loss in 401k financial investments, not to mention the countless losses of established companies.

As quality folks, we know that measurements based on facts, are the only way to identify issues and create real corrective action. Before we write one more law based on feelings, we need to ask for the data. Where is the data supporting this biospheric rift (global warming), Where is the data which connects it directly to carbon based emissions? What are the measurements? Which way are we headed related to the measurements? What are the actual root causes? This is basic quality stuff. Ask these questions, don't just blindly jump on the bandwagon for the sake of feelings. What good is one more piece of legislation going to do if its not bound in facts and measurables?

Don't support the type of behavior this legislation proposes, teach them to be lean, teach them to focus on facts, teach them to measure and take factual corrective action, teach them how to continuously improve, where improvement is required, teach them about risk management. Don't condole their actions, especially if you know they are wrong.
