I'm not beyond admitting when I post a little tipsy. Please accept my sincerest apologies.

To the topic, I simply cannot take $45 trillion at face value. To me, it's just an imagined number someone threw out there. For the record, I'm not entirely sure nothing is happening, but won't agree that it's entirely man-made, and certainly see the economic folly in usurping $45 trillion from the world to combat it, when there's no reason to believe everyone would play the game or even that it would be an effective use of the money.
Why don't more influencial people of the world just draw up guidelines and sell their plan to the American people and to congress?
One that would help us quit polluting and be more energy efficient than we are.
Americans became aware of littering when one woman Mrs. LBJ took that as her cause.
Instead of getting caught up in the rhetoric of war politics some of our popular citizens could use that popularity to call attention to the need to clean up the world. And raise enormous catches of private funds for energy research in the form of additional or extension grants to help solve fuel problems.
