If the ENTIRE PLANET is in danger because of ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’ (if its cooler than normal) why the comprise?  Via The Politico:

Sens. John Kerry and Joe Lieberman told reporters after the 90-minute West Wing meeting that Obama held firm in his calls for a price on greenhouse gases. But they said the president acknowledged that he could agree to a more limited climate and energy bill than any the senators had previously drafted.

“We believe we have compromised significantly, and we’re prepared to compromise further,” Kerry said.

“The president was very clear about putting a price on carbon” and curbing greenhouse gases, he added.

Lieberman said a couple of Republicans in the meeting promised to keep talking about the prospect of a less-ambitious climate program that includes a price on carbon, though he wouldn’t name names.

Kerry and Lieberman released a climate bill last month that capped greenhouse gases emitted by power plants, transportation and trade-sensitive manufacturers.

Why only focus on taxing carbon dioxide, the gas we all exhale if the planet is truly in danger?
