Study: $45 trillion needed to combat warming

[freeradical]

This obsession with global warming is puzzling. Why not concentrate on the tangible benefits of reduced petroleum use such as cleaner air? If we make our cars more fuel efficient, there will be less smog. Nobody is opposed to that. If more people use public transportation, the roads will be less crowded, and we will not have to spend as much money maintaining our highways. If we can seriously reduce our petroleum use, we might not have to park aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf. These are much simpler sells.
