Free market to the rescue.

Once again.. 3 Billion a year JUST from the KNOWN U.S. Budget on Climate change Research aka "studies".

Can anyone here at all disagree that MAYBE we would be better spent spending that money on technology research instead?

Tell every climate scientist... "Fine we believe you, now fuck off, we are spending your grant on stopping it.. not another study on if it exists".

I have no problem with Green energy research.

I ~DO~ have a problem with someone telling me.. sorry.. your energy bill is going to have to double ~NOW~ because we want to fix the environment... when doubling my energy bill won't do a fucking thing to fix it.
To get to this point though, we need to first reach consensus that it IS an issue worth fixing/solving. But there's too much pushback to bring the discussion to that next step of fixing it. I think we've had this same discussion on one of the other 1000 climate change threads that we've done, and I agree with you that the actions taken aren't the best course of action, but we can't bring it to the next level of discussion until we all consensus that there's a problem worth doing something about.
