well -- even so -- it's a lot like talking e-wave on stocks -- time frame is important in the cycle. It is terribly important to know if this IS caused by burning of fossil fuels -- because there are a lot of politicians who are going to use the regulation levers to make power produced by coal a lot more expensive. One may argue reasonably, that just the potential for this has already made our power supply more expensive -- in that it has forestalled investment in otherwise (sans the expected regulation) economic generation. I know that this has happened locally ... OT, there is no denying that this happened with healthcare -- why did folks see huge rises in their insurance very close to the passage of the bill -- compensation for the unknown -- shove risk on to those paying premiums. Of course, premiums will probably rise some more. back to climate change -- the causation and even whether we are on some larger cycle, etc. may have everything to do with whether to build another coal plant here (china isn't going to stop any time soon) does have ANY effect whatsoever -- what is measurable is the cost impact of not having adequate supplies from a resource which the US has in abundance ...
