Communicator's Call- Andrew Revkin Pt. 1

Andrew Revkin, a prize-winning reporter and author, has spent a quarter of a century covering subjects ranging from the assault on the Amazon to the Asian tsunami, from the troubled relationship of science and politics to climate change at the North Pole. Since 1995, he has been covering the environment for The New York Times, but his first prize-winning magazine articles on the human influence on climate were published more than 20 years ago, before the creation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He has written acclaimed books on the Amazon (1990), global warming (1992), and the changing Arctic (2006). His multimedia work on the Web has also been widely lauded, particularly his New York Times blog, Dot Earth (nytimes.com/dotearth). He is the first science reporter to win a John Chancellor Award for sustained excellence in journalism (2008). When not committing journalism, Andrew Revkin is a performing songwriter, member of the roots-blues band Uncle Wade, and occasional accompanist for Pete Seeger. (myspace.com/unclewade).

I don't believe 'Andy" is either. His immersion in the AGW camp has skewed his perception.

The key point that he makes about the future...and his point about the 'gun' ponited at our grandchildren...completely ignores the REAL gun of national debt and unfunded Federal obligaitons [all exceeding 100 trillion a la the Dallas Fed]...and in the face of THIS REAL DISASTER,, Andy wants governments to spend trillions more to fight an unsubstantiated problem. And the effect on climate? NONE.

"We're all guilty" is an interesting point of view. The problem with cap & trade is that any corporation that is turning a profit incorporating carbon credits into there profit margin will have no motivation to curb anything. If those same corporations have already invested in carbon credit trading outlets, they would stand to make even bigger profits. The only one paying for this guilt would be taxpayers. Reaping monetary gain from this guilt would be the wealthy who control virtual monopolies.
