Why would we do the first one? That just make us feel good --


or make YOU feel good, I suppose. Feel good measures that don't solve problems don't make me feel good. At the same time it would hurt our economy and competitiveness relative to countries like China who would not act similarly. The developed world could cut our emissions to zero, and the increase alone from China, India, Brazil, etc over the next 10 years, will far exceed any reductions we could do and we'd still be left with the problem.

So if your goal is to feel good, I guess we could have a carbon tax. If you want to solve the "wild fire problem", what do you plan to do about China, India, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines, Nigeria, etc.
