Vet,

I'm a GW agnostic... I'm not close to smart enough to figure out if GW is manmade or if our super complex weather system will somehow self correct if it is. So I'm not even going to argue that; just saying that cap and trade HAS worker in the past, and might work again.

That said I think the most important issue facing the country is curtailing our oil consumption. Not because of global warming, but for <many> economic and national security reasons. With 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's oil consumption, we are especially vulnerable to economic catastrophe. Our economy runs on tires; our entire society is centered around vehicles. If we don't figure out how to turn those tires using a lot less oil then we deserve what we get. And what we are getting right now is a transfer of wealth overseas.

It's not going to get better, in fact will get much worse, unless we make it get better.
