You have 20/20 vision!

Totally agree on your opinion for these matters.
Reading your article these are the thoughts that just come to my consideration:
The senate has prove (like in the first economic crisis handling days, that has the wisdom to consider approaches with good results based in common sense as well even in slow speed) and to that case bill, for sure the interests between parties may force this wisdom to became let’s say little more slow forward once more, but I think this time the cases for the climate change is indeed so obvious as urgent can be, leaving no other option rather to vote a big yes to that bill. America is entering to a new economic era of development energy, in which the western civilization is depend upon, and this transaction from oil based to green based economy – future oriented – for sure needs careful steps in transaction. This is not easy. But the big step has emerged already and this is so good. Concerning scientific facts on co2 emissions, I would say that even this target is not adequate to reverse the situation. All these years we have released so much co2 that the damage has already be done. – ore years are needed to restore these values back on track – And my friend Dan, I am so skeptical for these:
Ok, if we manage with Europe to do this so, but what about the new billion population economies adjustment to these standards for greener energy, not so easy to adapted technically and scientifically speaking, and this is that worries
me. But for sure America is giving now the right example to the world.

Concerning the Sun, hmm, yes, they not put it in the right direction as they presented for sure. But keep in mind that during the next Sun cycle, its activity will not help the situation. Without to be a specialist on this, I am speculating that in a sun maxima case scenario activity, even the reconnection of the magnetic field during the night side period of the Earth (in which the atmosphere is so fragile in a way), would weakening even deeper the capability protection Earth’s magnetic field during a day period solar wind incident in the upper layers of the atmosphere. If it happens to have a bad consequence in a raw, I think we will experience some new facts in our prediction modeling concerning climate, not change but damage as well.

Best wishes, and a have a beautiful day,

Ps: Great picture at Oregon!
