>>We need a way to put a price tag on CO2 . . .
.That is really the only big thing now, and the
USA will not do anything about it.
That's not true, at least based on what I know.
The entire US suggestion of "Carbon Trading"
advanced at Kyoto did exactly that. If we put a
price tag on carbon dioxide reduction, allowing
the US can do its share (e.g., by helping other
countries use cleaner power generators) without
crippling the US economy. The total effect is a
reduction of CO2 paid for by the US, rather than
forcing the US to destabilize by making a
too-abrupt change.
As I understand it, the US walked out of the Kyoto
talks because the group would not let the US put a
price tag on carbon dioxide.
