The left leaning scientific community has used its keen intellect to conclude that we are all doomed from climate warming because that rascal mankind is filling the air with CO2. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions on the planet suffer and die for want of a basic commodity. The lethal problem lies with energy, not global warming.
Rather than spend billions of dollars on the intellectual pursuit of what amounts to determining the number of angels-dancing-on-the-head-of-a-pin, we should be concentrating on the wise use of energy, with the operative drivers being efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Consider this simple exercise. If energy is wisely used, greenhouse gas emissions will always be reduced. The reverse, however, is not true.
