#2 The cost of attempts to make global warming go away will be very heavy. They may be levied initially on the big polluters, but they will eventually trickle down to the end-users.

IMO the goal has always been to 'equalize' the economic condition of all the people of the world (well, except for the administrators) - by pulling down the wealthy. What they fail to understand is that you cannot pull down the wealthy without pushing down the poor at the same time. If the rich get poorer, the poor will get poorer, and the poorest won't survive.

#3 Excellent analysis from an unexpected source.

I was not surprised to learn that the IPCC used some of the worlds best advertising agencies to generate maximum effect among the public.

That is gold.

Oh the left understands this. Quite clearly in fact. Global depopulation has been their goal for decades.

#7 Chaos Manor keeps reprinting or re-expressing the perennial wisdom of humanity, and is worth following on a daily basis.
Here's another recent gem linking economics, politics, and getting things done:
it was clear to me that economics was more concerned with its models than with reality. It was also clear that politics trumped economics every time, and understanding politics would be a requirement for getting the space program going. -- or getting any public program going.
