Yam I dont disagree with you at all. I do think we tend to way over complicate things thanks to the political game of making lobbyists happy and getting campaign financing as a result. So we get this motley collection of rules that leads to a tax code that you couldnt load into the back of a Ford F150 instead of one volume that says above this level everyone pays X % of their income. We get a Cap and trade system that instead of a simplish system of straight tax on polluters with a grace period to phase in we get a way for polluters to buy their way out and not have to change as a result.
I just dont know if we can have an effect on GW but figure if the things we do make sense for other reasons and ultimately make economic sense then what is the harm. I do think we need to plan for the worst case senario also. What if GW makes present immigration from the south seem like a trickle with a flood to come as folks around the equator flee weather disaster. Are Americans prepared for Central americans flooding the border? Are Canadians prepared for refugee Americans? Are the inuit prepared for southern Canadians moving North? I doubt if there are even many plans being developed. Other than how to make it appear to have been seen doing something.
