I don't have much quarrel with anything you've said in terms of the science and scientific complexity involved--up to the limits of my understanding that is (excepting sun spot cycles and their effect which I know nothing about). But leaving the realm of science and entering the realm of politics wherein science must get translated into the art of the possible--politically it seems we are going to have to live with the cap and trade approach for a while even while acknowledging it may not work and the better solution may be as you suggest. It's an approach that business is willing to try and not adamantly oppose and that has worked in the USA as far as reducing the amount of acid rain that falls. The question here is whether even a comprehensive expanded cap and trade bill can make it thru congress.
