They are separate discussions that can be parallel.<br /><br />So even people who feel there should be no effort to change CO2 emissions can have common ground with carbon-taxers. We know we're in trouble bad; there's common ground on how to manage it.<br /><br />I wrote "no JGFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580785981874040314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587346.post-10846138637404473722011-11-18T10:17:24.484-06:002011-11-18T10:17:24.484-06:00We should think about climate change. First of all...We should think about climate change. First of all, however, we shold accept it. Climate will always change, whether we like or not, whether we believe we cause part of the climate change or not. Given our limited resources, I consider it more important to focus on adaption instead of phony and often pseudo-religious ways to maintain a stable climate that has never existed and will never exist.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281335225031210525noreply@blogger.com
