The fact that the entire climate alarmist foundation is built on fraud is not enough to worry you? I don't advocate spoiling our nest, but the idea of using fraudulent science to mandate kicking the world economy back into the stone age seems ill advised. Provided that climate politics does not bankrupt us all, we should proceed as if the climate change is a done-deal. I cannot even imagine why you would believe that. It would be a huge tax on everything we do. Everything from starbucks to environment friendly recylcled sandals would immediately get much more expensive. It would mean that our children and grandchildren would have to accept another reduction in their potential way of life. The tax of current overspending is onerous enough without piling this on. If the science was legitimate I might consider it. As it is now we should not funnel more money to those who have defrauded us already. As you say, we have all the resources of the universe ot come up with better ways of living. We should proceed towards them. Thanks. There are millions of tonnes of resources in the asteroid belt. I believe it would require a human presence in space to exploit them. Who knows once we are out there we may choose to keep going.
