The significant subjective components of each of the more socially oriented subindices of the Prosperity Index are bounded by reality.

A second option is to strip the carbon from the fuel before you burn it. Most fuel cells depend on "reformers" that do just that. Most current reformers dump the stripped-out carbon into the air as carbon dioxide, but other processes leave the carbon behind as a solid residue. That takes care of carbon emissions all ri... | 0_0 |

T and CO2 appear to have been in equilibrium until about 3,000 BCE. Over the 5,000 years since then, CO2 has risen increasingly above its natural equilibrium. By 1,800 CE, CO2 had risen to a level comparable to the highest in the Vostok record. During this time, T declined at a rate of 0.1 C per thousand years, indicat... | 2_3 |

A similar conclusion is indicated from atmospheric temperature measurements.

What this myth overlooks is that emission caps inescapably--and by design--increase the cost of producing and consuming energy.

The IPCC says it is near certain that we caused at least half of that warming say, 0.65 C/century equivalent.
