In fact I think we're already screwed and climate change will get really nasty pretty soon. We should have acted on greenhouse gas emissions like 30 years ago.

Definitely won't be easy, but this announcement from the EPA puts Congress on notice. If they want to avoid having the EPA dictate emission standards under the Clean Air Act, a crude method at best, then they have to act. I'd like to see a straight carbon tax, none of this cap and trade crap, too much room for money and politics to alter the field.
As for Singer, the guy is a complete whore. His science is based on who has the deepest pockets.
