well, there is no good news to be had from the UNIPCC, and
that is just fine. unfortunately, to much credence is given
to GCMs, as if they are as good for climate as they are
for weather (see D.Brin), and vast anthropegenic changes go unmodeled
because they are so hard to do, like clouds & water vapor.

meanwhile, BP's cap&trade is being implimented on the excuse
of their massive CO2-creating blow-out ... when all
that's rquired is a small, actual tax on carbon, instead
of "let Waxman's arbitraguers do all the work & make all
of the money."

--cap#trade is as old as the hills (circa Waxman's '91 bill
with H-Dubya -- the crack-cocaine kingpin of south-central L.A.
