When Repubicans debate this it should always be in terms of the urgency, and terms of the solution proposed. The Draconian measures of Kyoto guarantee death and misery as well as major wealth transport to no good end.

Should we be trying to control human behaviour from a technocratic circle of philosopher kings, or should we be creating a plethora of clean cheap energy?

(here’s a hint: failures of attempts to redirect and control human behaviour are much more demonstrable than the urgency of the climate challenge.)
