The Waxman-Markey climate bill, in such form as it is developing into, will be as effective at limiting Greenhouse Gas emissions as a lobotomized, spayed bull at breeding more cattle. Its passage would be worse than nothing, as it gives some impression of doing something.

Just as the accumulating scientific evidence makes plainer every day that Global Warming is taking place and that anthropogenic emissions are the lead driver, accumulating socio-economic and political evidence makes plainer every day that the Carbon Tax should be the lead driver along the road to climate stability.

Action is needed now, along with real Leadership. Sowers of discord confuse climate discourse and obfuscate not only the understanding of the phenomena but also discussion of actions to be taken to protect the climate.

The Five Blind Men have studied the elephant; however, they have studied it long enough to recognize what it is and to understand what is to be done. No longer will these blind lead each other and us into the Pit.

At present, I keep pestering my Representative and Senators in Washington. And bending folks’ ears when the opportunity presents itself. I would appreciate advice.
