Climate Skeptic asks the essential question…
Both major presidential candidates have endorsed CO2 abatement targets for the US, with Obama advocating for the most stringent — the “20 by 50″ target by which the US would reduce CO2 emissions by 80% in the next 40 years.
Given that they support such targets, the candidates’ public positions on gasoline prices should be something like this:
Yeah, I know that $4 gas is painful. But do you know what? Gas prices are going to have to go a LOT higher for us to achieve the CO2 abatement targets I am proposing, so suck it up. Just to give you a sense of scale, the Europeans pay nearly twice as much as we do for gas, and even at those levels, they are orders of magnitude short of the CO2 abatement I have committed us to achieve. Since late 2006, gas prices in this country have doubled, and demand has fallen by perhaps 5%. That will probably improve over time as people buy new cars and change behaviors, but it may well require gasoline prices north of $20 a gallon before we meet the CO2 goal I have adopted. So get ready. Climate Skeptic: In Search of Honesty
Btw this is one of a long list of great sites dealing with the scam of human caused global warming.
