The likes of (massive) China and (massive) India have a good case to oppose any restrictions that the western world might try to impose upon them, as they have not yet been the cause of this foretold catastrophy and have not yet been allowed to use their "quota" to catch up with western economies...only 'cause those backward dumbasses didn't know how of course.

Our political parties oppose and block each other for any realistic remedy to the projected sickness. Nothing much happens there.
If anything realistic were to be attempted, then we, the public, will stop it because it might threaten our comfy drone lifestyle.


Precisely. We better pray it's false, coz if it's true, we're all buggered anyway.

Different day and a different excuse to do nothing - what a surprise.

oops - a climate skeptics party. Thanks for the heads up.


Lol muso the LDP is a Libertarian party, that means there are some for/against the idea of AGW but either view is irrelevant to the party policies  because the belief is there are other ways transition from C02 technologies and deal with potential climate change (man made or not),
it's a small government party so they aren't going to vote for any Carbon taxes either way.


However those that are scared of AGW have proposed the usual free market ideas of legalising things like Thorium I think it was[?] and reducing the barriers to entry to allow the market to adapt via entrepreneurs much easier.

So yeah either way it's not a party that would take an official stance about AGW but rather that government is not the solution and neither are taxes.

Non-sensical rationale here: what is the stance on subsidising the problem?

Cool

I agree with your title Bob but not necessarily your angle.

The environmentalists are making claims about:

(1) Association between carbon and global warming

(2) Association between carbon emissions from humans and global warming

So it's up to these claimants to prove the association by

(1) Show irrevocable proof how much humans contribute to carbon emissions relative to all others - in percentage terms ie 1%, 2%

(2) Show irrevocable proof how reducing 1% to the above equation will reduce global temperature

They won't

Because they can't!

The onus of proof is on the accuser not the accused

The onus of proof is on the commercial profiteer as there exists the concept of duty of care in civilised society!
