How did this happen? A terrible research assistant! Watch here:

for a real in-depth discussion of the issue, the grist article Tom just added and the Comments below it get into much more detail — tons more than the 10-minute video could.

And in fact, according to a CTF/ future500 study released yesterday (http://www.climatetaskforce.org/climate-change-policy-survey/) it’s the solution that the overwhelming majority of Americans beleive is the best solution as well.

BTW – did you watch the video? Is the opinion you object to mine or that of the video? The point is that it is a subject to be discussed (hopefully) without polarizing barbs going back and forth – though that may be too much to ask. If you are suggesting this post was intended on outlining a full alternative to cap and trade, then you are a bit mistaken. Though a shift of tax burden and fossil fuel subsidies seems like a pretty good start.

This is a review of a video and a recap of interviews with principals involved in the video. I’m not sure who needs to simmer down.

Feel free to add your own ideas for solutions.

The only alternative offered is to stop subsides to fossil fuel development… AND???

Bring on Copenhagen so all this political positioning in the media can simmer down again. It’s about as pathetic as all the opinion pieces addressed to Obama around the time of his election telling him how he should run the country. LOL
