“A cycle ago, there were people who actually believed in solving some of these problems,” said Navin Nayak of the League of Conservation Voters. “Now we’re faced with a slate that doesn’t even believe in basic science.”That knife cuts in two directions. The climate alarmists are mostly alarmed these days that the climate isn't cooperating with their view of how it should be behaving.
There is no significant warming, in deep contrast with what the alarmist models and theories predicted at this point. There isn't even a reason to believe that warming will worsen significantly for several decades, between predicted solar activity and the current oceanic climate oscillations.
If you happen to be concerned about too much CO2 being emitted, your best bet is inventing cost effective alternatives and letting the free market do its work. Nothing else that's been proposed is going to fly, in particular crippling the US economy further and letting China pass us by.
