Can anyone please use some sanity and give at least credence to Project 50to1? This fear mongering is getting a little tired. Time for people to use some grey matter and think of better alternatives to rising temperatures than pouring money down the drain trying to stop climate change — reasonable efforts, certainly; but how about creating ways for the earth to adapt. Does anyone out there realize that the IPCC has predicted a 3 deg. C increase in global temperature by the end of the century (87 years from now) and that the carbon tax on emissions is expected to result in a mere 5% change in that outcome — 5% — got it? Do the math: that is 1/20,000th of a deg. C over the next 10 years (Australian model of most ambitious carbon emission scheme ever). For that, people, if you were to expand the Australian scheme (the most ambitious ever, remember) to the entire planet through carbon taxes and emission schemes, the international world would have to spend $3.2 QUADRILLION to affect a change in temperature of 1 deg. C. Don’t be fooled: this is all about money — follow the money! No Carbon Trading scheme has to date worked. (But of course, Costa Rica is ahead of the curve and is all knowing). Scientific evidence will show that it is 50 times more expensive to try and stop Climate Change than it is to simply ADAPT to it when and if required. If Man can explore outer space and come up with the inventions, what is so imperceivable that it can mitigate the effects of CC and do so at more effectively at a fraction of the cost?
