Im No Expert On American Politics.

To Prepare Adequately For The Challenge Of Global Warming, We Must Acknowledge Both The Good And The Bad That It Will Bring. If Our Starting Point Is To Prove That Armageddon Is On Its Way, We Will Not Consider All Of The Evidence, And Will Not Identify The Smartest Policy Choices.

When Thinking About The Future, It Is Fashionable To Be Pessimistic. Yet The Evidence Unequivocally Belies Such Pessimism. Over The Past Centuries, Humanity's Lot Has Improved Dramatically - In The Developed World, Where It Is Rather Obvious, But Also In The Developing World, Where Life Expectancy Has More Than Doubled In The Past 100 Years.

The Total Efforts Of The Last 20 Years Of Climate Policy Has Likely Reduced Global Emissions By Less Than 1 Percent, Or About 250 Million Metric Tons Of Carbon Dioxide Per Year.

I Tentatively Believe In A God. I Was Brought Up In A Fairly Religious Home. I Think The World Is Compatible With Reincarnation, Karma, All That Stuff.
