Hound, you are exaclty right. What those of us who are unconvinced about ACC want is to continue to study this issue using science and not politics. And until the science is significantly less ambiguous and uncertain we should not entertain any of the solutions that are regularly being proposed, all of which would reduce the standard of living in developed countries while doing nothing but tranferring wealth to failed countries. And who gets harmed the most? The poor and the vulnerable. The fact is that developing countries like China and India are not going to reduce CO2 emissions. China has proposed the construction of over 2,000 coal fired power plants over the next decade and they are not going to stop. India has similar plans.
People that want us to do something today based on a spurious and unfounded theory act as if there is no harm from the proposed solutions. That is demonstrably false and reckless.
