You can't fight climate change at this point. All we can do is prepare for the disasters that are coming.

I'd suggest that Seattle put it's power lines and cable lines underground to help prevent power outages and internet outages (many people get the internet from Slimecast Cable)

Press conferences are not occasions for detailed policies, and as Cato says, climate change disasters are inevitable. The only way to have prevented them would have been to stop all technological advances about 200 years ago.

@2 actually, the UK projects, using ELISA, that they will directly INCREASE global warming emissions by 26 percent.

The US is doing pretty much the same.

You can change it. You're just too lazy and used to tax subsidies for bad behavior.

@2, @5: You can't undue 200 years of damage but you can stop doing more damage. Katrina and Sandy are the new normal, but we should at least lock things in here right?

You do realize Obama's going to approve the Keystone pipeline, right? I mean, he was all set to approve it before, and then environmental groups threatened to withhold support for him in the election--- and so he announced that he would hold off on a decision until 2013. Pretty cynical, but I guess he's figured out that a sad majority of "progressives" will swallow any kind of bullshit he feeds them, no matter how many war crimes he commits, and no matter how many whistleblowers he tortures and imprisons. Once he approve Keystone, anything he does to "stop" global warming will be kinda like slapping a bandaid on someone after stabbing them in the heart.
