Your thoughts on climate change

OK, so today the potus, declares war on climate change.
What are your thoughts.
For the sake of argument, lets assume it is happening and man made (lmao).
Unless you can get the rest of the world on board(7/8's of landmass and pop), why would you propose taxing
your own residents and making their energy costs rise exponentially?
So, lets say you get the above done, how long will it take to turn the tide? Years, decades, centuries?
For the record, I know we can not affect climate change on a national level, let alone on a global level.
I would like to hear FSUwxmans views, but I will say in advance, I have built homes for 2 separate PHD's in
meteorology who say it is bunk. One of which I am close friends with even though is his a die hard liberal
to the point we dont talk politics until right before we part company for the evening,,,,,,,,,it is a hoot.
He is books smart, and a good guy,,,well aside from his politics.

Sort of ..
No we are not causing any "global warming" or climate change. I also believe we are too full of ourselves if we think we have or can.
"“We’re so self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. “Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.” And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. I’m tired of this crap. I’m tired of freaking Earth Day. I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren’t enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world safe for Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don’t give a **** about the planet. Not in the abstract they don’t. You know what they’re interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They’re worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me."
Because my neighbors don't recycle, doesn't mean I shouldn't. Because my neighbors smoke, doesn't mean I should.
I don't believe climate change is bunk..there is far too much loss of ice, glacier, mountain ice etc being documented. It is changing.
Actually, I believe my own carbon foot print is pretty darn big, so if we can stem this without me giving up my stuff, I'm all for it. That is is hypocritical side of my thinking.
Authoritative pronouncements replace the ability to reliably and repeatably predict future observations of experiments or natural events.
Declaring the products of ordinary production to be "pollution" is a powerful pseudoscience that is more about manipulation and control than it is about pollution and sound environmental science.

Sort of like the human influence that caused the receding of the glaciers that formed the great plains, the Great Lakes, etc. Oh, wait a second...
:grin
We very well may, but the notion that without equal participation from the whole planet that we would make an appreciable change is bogus.
And we will never get that cooperation.......only the "bill" to pay for our efforts.

Unless you happen to be in jail at the time.
That said, what is being proposed sounds like big time overkill, and a $ grab, people like Al Gore are positioned to make billions.
