The biggest holdup to direct action on climate is showing that preventing these changes would be cheaper than enduring them (after factoring in scientific uncertainty).

I think I've read something about the devil being in the details.

>>In the minds of too many activists, climate really is a stalking horse for capitalism, consumerism and economic growth.

“Climate Change” is an IQ test.

A carbon tax—as part of a larger package of pro-growth reforms—would be the efficient, noncorrupt way to encourage human beings to do everything in a less carbon-intensive way. == Total BS.

Carbon intensive? WTH this is lunacy. If man caused gloBULL warming is preventing another ice age, we should all be celebrating!
