Senate Bill 2191, the "Climate Security Act", sponsored by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and John Warner (R-VA), is "going to cost trillions and do nothing measurable about climate change in the foreseeable future."[1] Patrick Michaels wrote:
- So, what do you get for your trillions? Climatically, nothing. Assume that all the nations of the world fulfill their obligations under the Kyoto Protocol (they won't!), which reduces global emissions about 5% below 1990 levels. That results in a "savings" of global warming of 0.07 degrees Celsius by 2050 — an amount too small to measure, as global temperatures vary on their own about twice that much from year-to-year.[1]
