Hi Wharf Rat; You keep on using Europe as an example of how CO2 policies are working. Okay, let's suppose that Europe manages to keep itself in control, How long will it take to get Asia, North America, South America and Australia under control?

Alarmists are saying stuff like "we only have 15 years to save the climate". Sorry, but politically, there's no way of turning the earth around in 15 years. By your own arguments, we should instead be worrying about how to cope with higher temperatures.

But since those higher temperatures don't arrive until 30 years from now, coping with them is something that our politicians can, and will, delay. That's a problem for the next generation. Solving it now would be like the people of 1914 solving the economic problems of 1934. Or 1983 solving the problems of 2013. A world of difference in a generation. Who knows what they'll do in 2040.
