the economic damage these policies inflict,let's pretend for a moment that the western world has managed at the point of a gun make the consumption of fossil fuels illegal. What would happen to the market price of said fuels in the face of reduced economic demand?

Might every third world nation burn even more of this "evil" fuel at a reduced price in a dirtier fashion than wealthier countries? With no motivation to "clean up their act"?

Just a thought for the pinheaded chicken littles who didn't pay attention in economics class either.

Schwarzenegger's Costly War on Climate Change

As the United Nations Climate Change Conference enters its second week in Copenhagen, California will send a delegation to showcase the state’s own climate change policies. Since his election to office in 2003, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has made global warming and climate change a cornerstone of his gubernatorial legacy. When he addresses conference delegates this week, Schwarzenegger will boast that under his watch the state has implemented some of the strictest and most comprehensive environmental regulations in the world. But delegates won’t be presented with the true cost of Schwarzenegger’s war on global warming.
