I can however tell something is going on from my own experiences. I have been farming for 30 years and its a different enviroment I operate in today than it was then. More extremes in both directions and more heat in summer today. We have bugs from the south that werent here 30 years ago and bugs that were here are acting differently too.
I dont think it would hurt one bit to cleanup our act as regards the enviroment and use a tax system to shift the cost to polluters.

First off, I think it's constructive to want to do something. Realistically, I think the result will be that a lot of money will get shuffled around and the bugs will still be doing something different in 30 years and the weather will be doing something different too.
There was a show on the T.V. the other day about a group of scientists who said they could solve global warming for a fraction of the cost of all this legislation by pumping some sort of acid solution into the upper atmosphere.
