There are no free lunches!
Most of the saving from reduced energy usage have already been realized and any additional benefits are not economically justified even at higher prices. If you have a car that gets 40 MPG and you drive 5,000 miles per year buying a car that gets 50 MPG will only save you 100 gals. At $10 dollars per gal you save only $1,000 so if you keep the car for 5 years you save $5,000 and if the car costs more than $5,000 more than a car that gets 40 MPG then its not worth it. the same logic applies to all uses of energy and after decades of looking at reduced energy the additional sames are now minimal — unless you give up performance!
There are many of us that think the ocean currents are the primary cause of the climate changes in the north hemisphere. a long cycle of 1000 to 1100 years and a short cycle of 60 to 70 years. These cycles match up with the medieval warm period, the little ice age and current swings of 60 years. If a small amount is added for CO2 using the more current 1.0 degree C doubling almost all the current temperature movements shown by NASA.NOAA can be modeled. .
The current GCM’s are not even capable of forecasting present temperatures let alone future one!
This time, modeled global warming will make submerged permafrost melt faster, releasing methane faster.

The basic question is why fix something that isn’t broken? And worse you had better fix what is really broken not something else. We know today that the GCM’s predictions of global temperature as not correlating with CO2 levels, in fact there are approaching .5 degrees C higher the the estimated global mean as published by NASA. This indicates that there is a problem in the logic programed into the GCM’s and that cast doubt on the impact of CO2 levels and their impact on climate. Without solid evidence that we know with very high probability how to forecast climate it would be insane to try to modify it! Richard has it 100% right there are way to many other issues that need to be solved that are real and not speculative.

There is a lot more control over the past than the future as this chart shows! So its easy to make a current number look either hotter or colder than some previous number!
31 May 1947 – The Arctic is melting says scientist Los Angeles…
23 Feb 1940 – THE NORTH POLE. Is it Getting Warmer. | BUNDABER…
Papers Past — Auckland Star — 14 December 1940 — WARMER ARCTIC
The Arctic warmed 10 degrees from 1900 to 1950, and both poles were rapidly melting. This completely wrecks the scientists story about Mann-made Arctic warming, so they have simply tried to cover it up.

Cc: Ben Santer <santer1@llnl.gov>It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip, but we are still left with “why the blip”.
The simplest answer is usually best and in this case the misinformation is being driven by political appointees of Obama. There are in each department legal offices with the head a political appointment. These people are really political commissars there to make sure that the party line is followed.
WASHINGTON — The Arctic and its future are looking dimmer every year, a new federal report says.
Spring snow cover in Eurasia reached a record low in April. Arctic summer sea ice, while not setting a new record, continued a long-term, steady decline. And Greenland set a record in August for the least amount of sunlight reflected in that month, said the peer-reviewed report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies.
Report: Arctic losing more of signature snow – San Antonio Express-News
The fine scientists at NOAA are defrauding taxpayers with omissions of key information. Why did they refer only to April snow cover? Autumn snow cover just set an all-time record maximum.
Since CO2 hit 350 PPM, autumn/winter snow cover is increasing much faster than the decline in spring/summer snow cover.

Kind of like what is the definition of “is” … lol
I was not aware of the Byrd-Hagel Climate Resolution and the impact on Clinton not supporting the Kyoto Protocol. This was a very interesting bit of history!
Can’t realy blame the citizens they have been told this for close to two generations now. The ones I talk to can’t believe that the government would lie to them for they have also been brainwashed into believing that business (capitalism) are evil and can not be trusted. Only a powerful federal government can look out for them!
A sane person would think :
A progressive would think :
It takes a lifetime of brainwashing to create humans that stupid and messed up.
