What degree of certainty do you desire and how much are you okay with the government spending to achieve it?

I’m happy to see funding increase for increasing our knowledge of Climate Science, and I’m happy to see the government provide that, as that is the sort of area I believe the government has a competence.

As to what degree of certainty? Ask me that when the AR5 is issued in 2014, until then I do not support any mitigation other than increasing research.

I also support some government funding for alternatives research, but not subsidy.

I approve of government subsidy of nuclear electricity plants, as it is a proven and economically realistic alternative.

As far as COP15 and Can and Trade, those should be shelved for a variety of reasons, regardless of to what extent you have faith in the theory of AGW, they will not help either way.
