I know the subject is a bit different than that, but the mentality is similar.

I wish it were that simple.

The problem, as I see it is that no legislation enacted or proposed is going to solve or even have an effect on global warming. Not because it's not happening, but rather because none of it ever addresses the underlying cause, that there are over 6 billion freaking people on this planet and that number continues to grow.

The various proposals all amount to one thing. Somebody trying to justify making a buck off of someone else.
