The earth will survive and maybe we will too, but there is a cost benefit equation that needs to be studied here to make the appropriate decisions about our energy sources and uses.

I have brought this up several times.

If we assume that the worst case scenarios of the CAGW crew are true, are the results of doing nothing better or worse than eliminating 50 to 70% of our energy resources.

So let's remove only coal, not nat gas or oil....50% of the worlds power generation. How many millions of people will die in the first year that we eliminate coal from out energy equation? How do you think the economy will respond to the removal of the energy source that fueled the industrial and technology revolutions?

I think the world needs to know this. I think we can do a little experiment that will help the scientist build meaningful models. We should have a week without coal. Surely nothing that bad could happen in one week without coal. Afterall, wind and solar are great baseload energy sources, aren't they?
