  Perhaps this little missive
  from the World Bank might enlighten...
  
  Keep in mind that while the GOp politicos are hip deep in Denial, the money men that run the world are not. The insurance industry is scrambling to get a solid forecast and read on the impact of global warming and what they are estimating is scaring the hell out of them...

  Deano -
  
  But that doesn't matter. Everythign that most of the rest of the world knows about global warming is contrary to American conservative dogma, therefore everybody else must be wrong. Thou shalt not question conservative dogma - don't know know that yet?

  Besides the World Bank, the European Environment Agency also just published a detailed report that documents the effects of climate change that the continent is already experiencing and will continue to experience.

  Is that the same World Bank Deano that we will pay our carbon taxes to?

  There are no carbon taxes, but it makes a lot of sense to impose a cap-n-trade system which gives industries an opportunity to prepare for the future and a reason to do it. Carrot and stick both.

  Cap-n-trade of sulphur emissions has almost eliminated acid rain. At a relatively modest cost of about a billion dollars.
