RE: Studies prove link between human activity and extreme weather events
John,
I've never been a huge fan of ethanol, particularly in its big corn lobby manifestation.
The problem with your "sound economics" is that the economics of fossil fuel use ignore many large external costs so they are artificially cheap. Sooner or later the bill becomes due and we'll all pay it.
#47: It's never too late. It's not a binary on/off situation. The outcome of global warming due to humans changing the mixture of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is completely dependent on the level of those gases. The sooner we do something the less bad the outcome will be. As it stands now we are heading for a world of famine and war with BAU.
