You're a blogger, do what bloggers do. Shame them. Write on their boards. Host a climate change blog-fest. Call the parties and insist their candidates address this issue. Write an op-ed. Write ten. Send one to the NYTimes and one to the WSJ. Writing an anonymous blog about it obviously isn't enough to tip the scale. Jump up and down on it. Well make them care.

Texas is a fast growing state, they are set for an energy crisis, regular brown-outs, etc. in the next few years at the rate they are growing. And even in a scenario in which they are able to handle the increased demand through consumer efficiencies, their coal fired plants are old. I agree with you that with all that sunshine, and that gulf breeze, Texas should be showing us how its done in terms of renewable energy production. But if renewable energy advocates are going to convince capitalists and lawmakers in Texas to favor sun or wind over nuclear energy then the will have to be able to show that the renewable energy sources are as productive, efficient and as reliable a source of power as nuclear. I just wonder if they are able to show that. If they can then they might stand a chance of changing minds if they try. There is productivity to consider.

So is CO2 a cause or effect?

Sunspot numbers do not explain everything about global warming. At best, they add into a 70% non-anthropogenic side, but at worst, only 30% of the warming is non-human caused. In working up a series on my own blog, I found that this particular argument against global warming had been shot down years ago.
