One of the most frustrating topics to me is Climate Change.
Yes, the climate is ever changing, and so the science is not settled.
There may very well be a school of thought that nations should pay "$100bn a year to tackle" it but based on Mr. Christie's recent "demand" that The Bahamas receive money is yet another government programme that we do not need.
The "market" needs to respond as it is doing with solar, hybrids, hydrogen and more, just like it did with air conditioning and motor cars and more.
Subsidising these technologies for the "rich" is questionable in my view.
Modern conveniences developed and became affordable over years, some over decades, yet now government sees it as their purview to determine which technologies become winners and which becomes losers with our tax dollars.
Some thing is amiss here.
I'm all for rich (or middle class) people enjoying the fruits of their labour and buying new technology until it becomes affordable for lower income and poor people to enjoy them. Remember when record players could only be afforded by the wealthy?
The market can and will provide without governments pouring money down the drain in a veiled concern for the environment as it has done for generations.
Poor people cannot afford to be concerned about the environment. Lets figure out how to get more people out of poverty so they can afford to go green and we won't need any more half baked government plans to save us from ourselves.
Come to think of it, sometimes it appears we need a plan to save us from the United Nations.
