Without regulation, how do you see getting pollution reduced? Without reasonable taxation, how do you see new technology getting developed? As for the transfer of wealth, that's just conservative paranoia.

On wealth transfer, just because Copenhagen failed, it does not mean it was not the intend.

On taxation, especially "reasonable taxation", on one hand, I would like the government to be neutral (not being able to favor one activity and punish another on), on the other hand I could see that a predictable, increasing tax on burning of fossil fuels would reduce their use of fossil fuels - so I am conflicted...

On taxation being a pre-requisite for new technology development, I obviously disagree.

On regulation of pollution, I am for it, given honest people work at EPA. But with the dishonest party hacks Obama put in place (who declared CO2 a pollutant), the natural reaction is to oppose their regulations....
