Ask a typical person concerned about global warming if they think Congress will enact a bipartisan solution to climate change, and the response is likely to be a derisive laugh.
For millions of Americans who watch cable news shows or read the papers, such cynicism is easy to come by. Democrats and Republicans can barely get together on keeping the government from shutting down. How in the world could they ever come together on an issue as politically divisive as climate change?
But in the past decade, the findings and predictions of climate scientists have been validated by real-world evidence: ice vanishing from poles and glaciers, sea levels rising, storms and wildfires becoming more destructive, and temperatures moving inexorably in one direction — up.
Even before the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court, which gave big-monied interests the power to bend national policy to their will on issues like climate change, the divide between the parties was widening — Democrats seeing climate change as an issue needing to be addressed; Republicans questioning the urgency and need for action and whether a problem existed at all.
Given that Republicans are the party of less government, it’s safe to assume that additional regulation falls outside the Venn diagram sweet spot of common ground. The solution most likely to find favor in both camps has to be market-based and revenue-neutral, and a fee on carbon with proceeds returned to households meets those requirements. Such a fee will provide the economic incentive to speed the transition to clean energy and reduce carbon emissions.

More squeeze from the cow’s rectum. I wonder if the morons who come up with this stuff really believe it or they’re just cynically taking advantage of subnormal hippie types to feather their own pockets at the taxpayers expense.
They have their one-size-fits-all policy recommendation (higher taxes and expanded government), so why shouldn’t we have ours (restrict immigration)?
Punch back twice as hard.
This guy is full of more crap than a Christmas Goose. Here’s a hint: they stopped calling it Global Warming and started calling it Climate Change because there was no warming.
And they always conveniently leave out the word, theory. I don’t care what they call it, it is a theory. An unproven theory.
Global Warming Theory
Climate Change Theory
All we really want to do is control every facet of your life Theory
Although that last one is more than a theory. Its the truth.
They are trying to backdoor communism without the revolution.
Mark has joined the list of imbeciles.
On the contrary, True Believer Elon Musk (or one of 20 others) could put reflective grafitti in orbit over the poles. Depending on how much it reflects, the polar cap melting could be reversed and the polar ice increased. This is cheap.
More expensive, there could be a massive irrigation and greening of deserts such that they almost become tropical forests that soak up big CO2. Sea weed in the ocean could be greatly increased as a CO2 sink.
There are many real alternatives. Some cheap. Some expensive. That the true believers won't support any of them is proof that they don't want the problem solved. They want to use it as leverage to get things that have zero to do with climate change.
[[and a fee on carbon with proceeds returned to households meets those requirements. ]]
This is such BS- they are NOT going to return what they steal from you=- period! Once they have your money- you are NEVER going to see it again-
Of course, the warmers will say weather isn't climate. True, but they can't develop climate models any better they can develop weather models.
I love the “Can we all Agree that” then it’s yada yada yada. Let play. It’s really just a hoax or it’s a real problem. That puts half of all this in the trash.
bipartisan solution on climate change
HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLET
Can't be done. The center of an orbit needs to be the center of the earth.
Suddenly they're in a bargaining mood, only they insist on a bad government one-size-fits-all deal. Here's a bargain: give cities unlimited power to pass carbon taxes and regulate carbon emissions within city limits in exchange for leaving the rest of us alone. 90% of Democrats live in cities. To seal the deal we should let Democrats ban all defensive weapon ownership within their urban concentration camps. It will make the surrender negotiations go more smoothly.
The funny thing is that democrats could switch from opposing fossil fuels to favoring them as quickly as they shifted on nuclear power. Equally amusing, there is a very strong conservative/nationalist case for shifting to renewable energy and eliminating oil. Imagine what would happen to the Arab world, and their funding for terrorism, if oil was a minor commodity used in specialty manufacturing instead of the center of the global economy. Democrats would freak out over the lost demand for oil if it hurt their anti-Western allies.

Blah blah blah.
Just saw an ice core reconstruction of world temperatures, and the steady decline of world temps can be seen. There are some high points (higher than current temperatures) and low points (mini ice age) but overall the greatest danger to humanity is the decrease in world temperatures accompanyied by an agricultural crash and famine. Billions will die
So fire up you barbecue and save the planet by burning some coal and driving to the beach in an SUV
I guess his message is that “The science has been resettled - and Chicken Little has been absolutely proved so right it should be a major felony to ignore her”
The climate warmists have zero credibility at this point.
