Good discussion of article I read in Forbes. The best solution is to plant trees! Europe is building coal-fired power plants while Washington dithers and the left can't seem to find an energy source they really want. To me hundreds of wind towers are aesthetically far worse than one coal-fired power plant (with appropriate scrubbers). Unless there is a change in Washington we may be headed for increased energy scarcity and high prices.
A number of influential people in Russia, China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam say the planet is now entering a 30-year cooling period, the second half of a normal cycle driven by cyclical changes in the sun's output and currents in the Pacific Ocean. Their theory leaves true believers in carbon catastrophe livid.
To judge by actions, not words, the carbon-warming view hasn't come close to persuading a political majority even in nations considered far more environmentally enlightened than China and India. Europe's coal consumption is rising, not falling, and the Continent won't come close to meeting the Kyoto targets for carbon reduction. Australia is selling coal to all comers.
