Why should you have a voice? Seriously. Have you ever considered that stupid people should have a diminished voice? Wouldn't the world be a better place if dumb people listened and smart people talked? Wouldn't that increase the knowledge of humans? Is it less than pure evil to think or act otherwise. Please shut up, for goodness sakes.

I appreciate the question, but....
I know message boarders like to play arm chair expert, but that's just not my bag, man. It takes years of expertise and training to even begin to understand, let alone propose, a viable mix of climate solutions in a legislative, engineering, economic, and scientific context. Multi-disciplinary levels of expertise far beyond my day to day skill set.
It certainly has to involve some mix of carbon source control, carbon sinks, regulatory structures, as well as free market solutions, tax policy incentives, research and development, and coordination at the international level with partner countries. And lets be honest, there has to be a series of well thought out adaptation strategies, because we have delayed for so long we are, in fact, on a collision course to have to deal with the ramifications of a rapidly changing global climate.
It is a level of sophistication and complexity that I fully admit I am not an expert in, and have no intention of playing an expert on a message board.
I just want people from all sides of the aisle, liberal and conservative, to not only accept that this is one of the great moral and environmental challenges of our generation, but to think creatively on how to implement climate solutions and adaptation. If you can convince some of your global warming denying cohorts that this is one of the pre-eminent challenges of our generation, then I would be happy to hear some free market climate solutions.
Meh
I am good wit doing nothing. You will be dead so who cares
You have a better chance of being killed by a nut job liberal or ISIS than from climate change.
How do you guys manage to handle the change from spring to Summer?
Talk about a huge change in climate. I man we can go from 60 degrees F to 99 degrees F
And for some reason I am supposed to get all worried about 0.1 degree?
I'll pass. But you feel free to change your lifestyle for your beliefs.
What is hilarious is that I am the biggest man made climate skeptic on JPP and from what I can gather, I am the only one who is powering a house 100% off of "alternative" energy.
I have hydro and use solar for hot water heater. Burn wood for heat and cooking, although it can make it a little toasty in the summer to cook indoors.
Not one JPP lefty I know of has invested their own dollars into their alternative circle jerk for their own homes. Why not? The technology is available. They all claim to be uber rich. What is stopping them from saving the erf?

Yes develop 4th generation nuclear based on molten salt technology instead wasting vast amounts of money subsidising white elephants like wind and solar. Bill Gates has seen the light at least.

What is the most shocking of all about that paper in Nature Geoclimate is the lead author Ben Santer. He was one of the more vociferous and energetic alarmists exposed in the Climategate emails. So it's truly refreshing to see that he's actually decided to become a true scientist at last.
Alarmist scientists like Ben Santer had previously gone to great lengths to deny the existence of a ‘Pause’ in global warming, to pour scorn on those who have argued otherwise and to insist that their computer models are fundamentally reliable.
The fact that he is involved in this embarrassing retraction, his admission on the Pause is bad enough, but what the paper says about the unreliability of the computer models is truly breathtaking in its implications.

More than that, Ben Santer was the poster boy for Pause Denial and belief in climate models. That he is the lead author for this paper in Nature is huge.
He once said that if he met Pat Michaels, a leading climate sceptic, he would punch him on the nose. This for the audacious crime of actually behaving like a scientist and following the actual evidence rather than a climate activist. I think the logjam is finally about to break, not before time I might add.
