In this terrific little 7-minute video, Steven Hayward helps us understand just what a drastic task it will be to cut CO2 emisions by 80% in fifty years (the target advocated by many catastrophists and adopted by both Democratic candidates). I don’t think hanging out the laundry is going to be quite enough. He makes the same point I made a while back, that this target implies a per capita CO2 emission level this country last experienced in 1875, and one that can only be found in the dirt poorest countries of the world.

I’d be interested in what ‘Scientist’ has to say about this. Even if he is correct in his argument, why should I care enough to pay with money and freedom?
A) Scientist isn’t one,
B) that idiot knows zero economics, and
C) who cares what stupid people think?
