“There has been a series of extreme weather incidents. That is not a political statement, that is a factual statement. Anyone who says there is not a dramatic change in weather patterns is denying reality.” – New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Denial is an extraordinarily powerful impediment to remedial action, particularly when it diminishes the profits of the powerful while at the same time imposing public cost or inconvenience. So the ansewer is to make solutions profitable and convenient. In other words for government must incent making climate change solutions market driven. The words ‘climate change’ needs to take a nap and fade from political rhetoric while things the lead to the elimination of fuel poverty, enhanced flood prevention and the protection of food supplies are enhanced and loom large. Already the consumer market is well ahead of both environmentalists and governments, see the collapse of the housing market and the bankruptcy of GM.
