There at this point is nothing to debate about "cost benefit" when it comes to ways to deal with it. The reality is that it is going to mean more expensive/ less amenities/ less luxuries in life. It will mean economic recession to a degree and definately less growth and profit.
This is true. All while we wait for the "magic green tech" to appear. I've posted before that the tech will drive the switch away from carbon emitting fuel, not the increased cost of the CE fuel. (or perhaps decrease in cost of the green tech) As long as I have been driving or can remember, Europe has paid double what we do for fuel. Sure they've got more hybrids, etc. over there, but not that many more, and those are band-aids - not solutions. I think even a major stop gap in the switch will have to be something that integrates into our current distrobution & infrastructure. Right now, hydrogen or biodiesel seems to be that stop gap.

Honestly I do agree with most conservatives that a lot of the more liberal economic approaches would be disastrous for our country. However I dont agree with denying the problem in the first place is the right thing to do.
Agreed

I wish Gore would lead by example for instance like the actor Ed begley who definately lives by what he believes in.
Which is why I never miss an opportunity to dogpile on Gore.
What a douche-wagon.
