My personal opinion is cap and trade and carbon taxes as is a big scam by governments to make extra money just like tobacco settlement didn't actually go to help smokers. There is also a Schism within the sciene community saying that there is an El Nino hiding behind this latest global warming and that global cooling Could Happen due to the maunder minimum of sunspot activity. I don't look forward to raising gasoline by 35 cents a gallon like Canada is doing in the next 4 years for their carbon tax scam

As one Leftist famously said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste". What is unsaid is, "...and if you don't have a good crisis to scare the people and control them, invent one". It's all about control and taxes.

The Zen master would say if you want to change government, you must aim at changing corporations for they have the money to impact politics; and if you want to change corporations, you first have to change the consumers for they provide the corporation's with the money. Whoa! Wait a minute! The consumer? That's me! You mean I'm the one who has to change?!? (and so nothing changes - ad infinitum) We are the masters of our own demise and refuse to see that WE are the ones WE'VE been waiting for.

CW3 Cherif L. - Not sure where you're going with this but your bottom line is absolutely correct.

Not really going anywhere ;-) just playing contrarian/devil's advocate. Sometimes we get caught up in our own information siloed world's that I need to take a step back and approach something differently. It's one of the things we learned in MI school, that it's the assumptions that will get you every time. When I was in college I lived debate and it was even more challenging to take on a premise that I disagreed with and argue it. Shake 'em up I say!

I think what's more important than our opinions on climate change is what SECDEF Mattis is addressing. Climate change is occurring at an unexpected rate. Man's influence on that is debatable. But what shouldn't be is that socio-economic effects throughout the world and the effects of climate and geography do have significant influence on conflict. It doesn't occur in a vacuum. One only need look at the past several decades of drought and famine in East Africa to see how it's effected stability in places like Ethiopia and Somalia. As polar caps shrink we may also see increased tensions with Russia, who've well anticipated this and are already staking claims to previously unnavigable waterways.

LTC (Join to see) - BHO mentioned this as well. Unfortunately the response to him had more to do with the politics of causes than the practicality of addressing this issue as it develops.

What you are referring to is "Tragedy of the Commons" which is an economic theory on a shared-resource system (earth) where individual users (nations) acting independently and according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action or in this case inaction.
Sad isn't it. The most intelligent beings on the planet can't see the forest for the trees. Even birds and such can feel disaster approaching.
