Following your climate change logic

Blue Virginia has an excited post up about the latest attempt at a climate change bill.
It's like, come on, we need to do this even if there's no global warming. It's an insurance policy and better for us.
Let's try that logic on another nanny state area, weight.

• Americans weigh too much and are unhealthy.
• Arms weigh several pounds.
• All Americans should cut off an arm.
• Then all Americans would weigh less and be healthier.

No string of 100 degree days and record winter snows would be impacted by anything Congress does. Unless it was not meeting in Washington, but by conference call.
