the forum search shows that this u.s. senate tax initiative, sponsored by the named senators, has not been discussed on this board. i find this incredible, after all the posts on the general subject. are we all that ignorant,or just unwilling to debate a climate change topic of actual value?

i first heard of it today, from my aunt asking me to sign a petition.my web research led me to blogs as extremist as any posts here. i am flabbergasted to learn that the official democratic plank of 2008 elections is a reduction of 80% from 1990 levels of the so-called green house gas emissions by 2050, and that is considered a bare minimum by the hard liners. and that the hard line consensus is a hard cap on emission levels immediately.

leiberman-warner is castigated for only wanting a 60% reducton, and other reasons.

so, you faq'rs, how say ye? oppose for not strong enough, support or oppose for the economic consequences?
