What is remarkable in this thread is the lack of a substantive response to the points that I raised:
- we have an incomplete understanding of the planet and the influences on its climate - computer simulations based on human assumptions and incomplete knowledge are not always accurate or even close to accurate (see the recent meltdown of the economy for a prime example of how a bunch of really smart people with fancy computer models were totally wrong about potential outcomes in a complex system that we don't completely understand) - without the cooperation of the Indians and Chinese, who have already said no thanks, capping carbon emissions will do little to change overall CO2 levels - cap and trade legislation is therefore a big scam that will mint a ton of money for a handful of people and cost the rest of us in every sector of the economy Anyone care to respond to any of these points, or are you all just going to piss and moan about how the doubters "don't get it"?
