This is not a 'hands off' issue the USA is facing. The government and the data available to it's regulatory agencies may have been corrupted in 'misdirection' by the current administration.
I invite all the contributing scientists to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to support their collegues in the USA as they will serve to provide the guidance to Greenhouse Gas Regulation in the USA. This is a global initiative requiring cooperation of many nations, but, the USA carried the most burden and needs to take leadership to achieve the estimates by Al Gore leading to 90% carbon dioxide free emissions by the USA no later and perhaps sooner than 2050.
I make a strong suggestion that the USA legislature immediately act to create a task force lead by James Hensen that has been in this debate for decades. He is the expert the USA needs to lead and facilitate the best solutions for the USA. He is to be free of encumbrances that might be levied from the Executive Branch. I remind this is a legislative task force that answers only to them and not the president. He and his administration has been grossly incompetent on this issue.
Carbon Credit Legislation has to be tightly scrutinized for effectiveness and Mr. Hensen can provide that from his Goddard Labs. Additionally, the pitfalls of ethanol has to be known and either resolved or the fuel needs to be abandoned as an answer for the USA.
If religious leaders of the USA are looking for a moral issue to engage, I suggest they start with saving the god given world human beings were provided to enjoy and steward. I wish all those so inclined an enjoyable and reaffirming holiday. Quite frankly, I couldn't imagine a better way to start it. Rebirth. The Free World Renaissance.
