Les that what happens when people get their information about science from the media. The people who write this stuff, for new papers and popular mags are generally full of it. They spin everything. Just look at some of the silly things that get into Astronomy magazines. If you want to understand the science then read the journals. Reading something a journo wrote is a waste of time. Even worse is reading what a opinion editor. The evidence for global warming has been growing for over four decades. Now is your someone like Steve fielding who will take faith over fact every time it's no wonder he has come back from a visit the conservative thinks tanks in the US now a septic. Those think tanks peddle all sort of anti science:- They are generally anti-evolution, anti-aids, anti-government, home schoolers.
Read the science not the junk created by journalist and their like. $4K and year is nothing compared to what we may lose.
Rod the scientific debate was had 10 years ago, it’s only the conservative think tanks and oil companies that will not except it. As for your description of carbon you are aware how carbon dioxide is made aren’t you. A good example is steel making, Iron is made into steel by removing the carbon in pig iron. In the BOS process oxygen is blown into molten pig iron which exothermically combines with the carbon...guess what is made carbon monoxide/dioxide. It’s the carbon which is the problem, If you have a process that removes carbon you get a credit and if you release it you pay for it. It’s simple. The only problem with the Governments scheme is the rest of the world is not doing it.
