This would be a great discussion in 2006, but what the IPCC is saying is that the planet is burning.
We have a government that is going to massively increase exports to places like China or India where this will be burned. Your job is to warn the government to prioritize early and deep reductions and make sure that we don't have greenhouse gas emissions. They are exporting upwards of a million barrels overseas so it can be burned there.
Don't you think that you have at least the moral obligation to warn the government and to say, “Come on, guys, you can't pull this kind of stuff and meet our obligations on the international stage”?
