re: #520 LudwigVanQuixote

Mandy, the 11-12 years is wrong. I agree that he is alarmist. However he is not totally wrong. More than one billion are certain to die from AGW if nothing changes. It will just be more like 50-120 years from now.

Ludwig… He is recommending that policy be implemented as if the 1 Billion number is a distinct possibility by 2020. It’s in his testimony. The approach you would use for an 11 year plan is drastically different than one used for a 50-120 year plan.

Give Obama’s use of advisors and czars such as Summers, Holbrook, and Mitchell as alternate policy-setters to Treasury and State, it’s not sheer craziness to wonder if Holdren does or will carry a big stick.
