Paul Krugman + Al Gore = The Way Forward

The Europeans who signed on to Kyoto did not make their emission goals. The only way to make those goals is with a great depression. I took over 10 decades to get to the oil consumption levels the world is at now (and growing) and it will take perhaps a decade just to get to zero growth let alone a reduction in use.

Any country that unilaterally decides to scale back will face enormous economic difficulties if done the Gore way. In Japan oil imports actually decreased from the late nineties to now. How did they do it? They built dozens of nuclear plants and stopped burning oil for electricity. Here in the US it takes 3 to 4 years to get a permit to move rocks in a lake from point a to b to form a breakwater.

The massive economic efforts required to make dubious environmental goals will be a disaster. Franky I hope they get implemented because its failure is the only way to snap you guys out of the CO2 is bad religion.
