The link to the title is a video of a couple with a 'corn' burning stove that appeared in The Washington Post. While that is interesting, The Washington Post has the wrong focus. Their focus is on the economics, "Climate Change Debate Hinges On Economics Lawmakers Doubt Voters Would Fund Big Carbon Cuts. (click here)"
That is not correct.
Climate Change is happening.
There is no more debate.
This is no joke.
Economics has nothing to do with Climate Change.
Climate Change is a product of Human Induced Global Warming. GREED. There is no reason for it. Funding 'Corporate Friendly Carbon Cuts' has absolutely NOTHING to do with Climate Change. That won't do a darn thing. The reversal of Human Induced Global Warming is having leadership in a country ready to do what is right. If corporations survive it is because they found a way WITHOUT exploiting the naivety of an electorate and it's representative government while the scientists responsible for 'correct' information delivers this country from it's current path of demise.
The Washington Post has gotten use to 'misinformation' in Washington, DC. It has gotten used to looking to the Executive Branch for answers to it's problems. This administration will never deliver this country from it's own demise. Legislators cannot succeed without the guidance of scientists such as Dr. James E. Hanson (click here). In the years to come, when the USA has sufficient leadership to guide it out of it's own destructive path, competent and trustworthy scientists, void of corruption or false agenda, will be known around the American dinner table. There is no other way.
As a nation we have 'lolly-gagged' in addressing this issue and now the recovery is so very, very late and getting exponentially worse by the moment that scientists have to take the helm and lead. You are all used to daily weather reports. Moment to moment on the mobile devises. That's going to change because it will be replaced with daily reports on the progress or lack thereof of Earth to recapture it's vigor, biotic diversity and health for the generations of Americans yet to be born.
I don't see an obligation to corporations in creating Carbon Cuts. It's futile. It's immoral. It is like saying these corporations that ONLY do the right thing when forced to by law are actually equivalent to the people of this nation whom are devoted to do absolutely the right thing. The people of the USA, like this couple in this video, are taking on the challenge of saving Earth for their children. The citizens of the USA don't have to be told how important this is or how to seek innovative ways to find solutions. To compare corporations in the same breath with citizens while they do NOTHING but pander to government for tax breaks and grants while they are the ones that could not care less about the quality of the environmental inheritance of our children is ludicrous.
Corporations need to find solutions or go out of business. Just that simple. The limits on their lack of leadership is coming. Survive or die. They get real or they get out of the way.
