$1 x 10^12. In the common tounge, 1 Trillion US dollars.
Story: "The cost of curbing the soaring emissions of harmful gases that are blamed for causing global warming has been estimated at $1 trillion by a major study of the cost of climate change.
The volume of emissions of the gases that cause global warming will double by 2050 unless rich countries agree to take significant policy steps to cut energy use, it shows."
Such a stupid idea. If we wanted to melt the earth, we couldn't. Why on earth do liberals think we can stop a natural process, which we do not understand?

Hat tip to Seth Jackson for the link, which I forgot.

The same reason they thought we could stop the oncoming Ice Age 50 years ago.
No liny to story PB
They really need to think a lot more carefully.
Perhaps this was what PB was referring to?
Anyways all these Greepeace people that say we need cleaner cars and whatnot I wonder what they drive to work?
I have a friend whose older sister lives in the Bay Area so I was kidding him when I asked if she's a left liberal and he said yes. He then said the only contradiction about her is she drives an Audi. So yeah, I'm sure there are quite a few greenpeace people that drive the same vehicles as everyone else:o)
On a more serious note tho, I'm sure there are true green people that drive cars which take veggie oil but there's a balance between what's ideal and economical, e.g.
driving that car would cost more in time and effort than a normal car or buying a Prius is good but you have to pay $5-6K more for it and to recoup that in gas savings would take 10 years.
But Jason, we did stop the ice age. But we overreacted, and now we're headed twoards a meltdown!!!!!
Seth, thanks. Greenpeace useses charter jets, and I'll bet one cross country flight on a gulfstream takes a lot more gas then my car.
Mercy, the true greenies are few and far between, and probably not mentally all there.
But I think hybrids are a great idea, if you can afford the extra cost. Why? Because they run silent under 20mph, which would just be awsome.
Yeah hybrids are a good idea.
Hey whatever happend to those hydrogen cars????
