Eight Nobel-prize winning economists and scientists have joined more
than 2,000 others in signing a letter today that urges the Senate to
take swift action on climate change.

"The longer we wait, the harder and more costly it will be to limit
climate change and to adapt to those impacts that will not be
avoided," reads the letter, which is available on the Union of
Concerned Scientists' website here. "Many emissions reduction
strategies can be adopted today that would save consumers and industry
money while providing benefits for air quality, energy security,
public health, balance of trade, and employment."

The renewed effort to focus attention on the issue comes after a
difficult few months for advocates who want Congress to pass
legislation to curb greenhouse-gas emissions. *[ . . . ]

Good point.

Those days on TV:

Resource costs for energy production is steady declining, power costs for
end-consumer is steady increasing.
There must be something going wrong.
Germans are upset about concealed cartelization of energy companies and urge
the government to act. But government tacitly acts as though nothing had
happened.
The problem is with Germans, they are so boring lethargic.
Otherwise street riots were the order of the day, just like now in Greece..

But things can always change.

The latest scandal is similar, regarding mineral oil groups.
They increased prices for gas and diesel last week of about never seen before
20 cents/liter, although crude oil prices are stable or declining since
months.

How else do you expect near-trillionaires to compete for the top spot
on Forbes' List? The only source for their mindless, numbers game is
inflation of fiat currencies - or take it from hoi polloi i.e. us.
They prefer the latter.

They take the same line like the energy producers.
And again, government sleeps...

Meanwhile AGW continues. The forecasts of increasing extreme weather
events under warming climate change are beginning to look like they
have some substance to them.
