In reply to Bob Bingham. We have the evidence of Willie, the instant frozen Woolly Mammoth. As we descend into the Ice Age "Some northern countries might have to be abandoned with a full on Ice Age as the ice marches down and crushes everything below it"

The economic consequences of climate change are so dire and the simple facts so well understood that avoiding any action is a purely political decision and has nothing to do with reason and reports. http://www.climateoutcome.kiwi.nz/climate-threats.html

A national carbon tax (all fees rebated) would reduce emissions by 50% in 20 years. And the economy would grow in jobs and GDP. The rebates neutralize price spikes in dirty energy.

A carbon tariff should be added which would reward all importing countries with a low carbon footprint.

See a study done for the U.S. of such a tax at

Lindzen is one of the few anti-AGW scientists with a credible record. However, he is just that – one of the few, and his views are massively against the weight of evidence, and the consensus in the field.

If we don’t act, them the BRIC’s won’t. And Russia can be dealt with once we’re weaned off gas, via building nuclear plants. THEN, we can talk about taxes AS-IF energy sources had had carbon floors attached.

The actions being taken in the UK are wrong in detail (especially in that they’re pushing up bills to fund inefficient installations), but the object is good.

Guy – you haven’t answered my question. But you have posed another. How are you going to get China, Brazil, India and Russia to cooperate in this grand scheme?

Northern Worker – the point is that globalised markets are causing labour, capital and emissions to effectively migrate around the world. Carbon prices / taxes / trading schemes aren’t causing jobs or emissions to migrate, it’s lower labour and capital costs in developing countries that is driving that.

Unless a strong price on carbon is introduced – or can be felt – everywhere globally, then it’s likely emissions will continue to be outsourced.
