Note the similarity with medieval christianity. Only "we" (the church or

compensation", only then may we forgive you your sins.

That is a very good comparison of CO2 taxes with indulgences.

I agree completely with Lynn which is why I am highly skeptical about
the climate change rhetoric not because I'm a doubter but rather than
I doubt that any real solution is possible without Chinese
participation and it is totally unacceptable for the West to cripple
itself economically to no good end.

By all means we should do what we can but I would not support breaking

least unreachable without Chinese participation) outcome.
