Whatever you may think of global warming, there is no doubt that the bulk of the solutions proposed for limiting emissions vary from marginally useful to a complete waste of time, if not counterproductive. Its nice that Max Rheese recognises this.

Only die-hards such as Sarian, and others who have simply never bothered to look at these issues, refuse to admit this basic point.

Emissions are simply not going to be reduced under existing policies - even the rate of increase is not going to be affected. The only option is to go in the other direction and start providing energy to all, and help allieviate poverty.

AGW is a monstrous, ideologically driven scam which has embraced all the usual spivs and opportunists; they and 'science for hire' have formed a pack scrum around the verminous UN and have pilfered the productive economies to the tune of $trillions and have convinced governments, coporate investors and particularly union dominated superannuation funds, to invest more $trillions in the ongoing fraud of sustainable energy projects.

Anyone who advocates AGW should live in a cave for the rest of their lives.

Time and again detailed studies/ analysis has indicated that Green 'renewable' energy solutions, not only being economically crippling, actually result in an overall increase in co2 emissions. The moment a politician labels co2 a 'pollutant' they lose my vote. If you want to alleviate poverty, I suggest you formulate policies as suggested by curmudgeon and act in the reverse of current policies. If you want to assist the planetary bio system, increase the atmospheric levels of that airbourne nutrient, co2.

Curmud:
I agree with you that current attempts to limit Climate Change are ineffective (how about that I agree with you).
The ONLY thing that will reduce Global Warming and reduce Climate Change is to reduce the world population. That will be done eventually but it will hurt as it happens. I do not think that it is possible to change world attitudes to reducing population, especially if the Republicans win the US election. They are already building up an attack on not just abortion but contraception as well. While W/bush was the honcho,he stopped aid to countries that practiced birth control.
As a result we are in even bigger trouble now than we should be.
