3. I wonder
What is the dollar figure used to represent 10% (or 20% or 50% or 80%) of the American public starving to death from AGW? Any of those percentages is possible, imo. That $400 billion translates into $13k/American saved in the case of possible 10% starvation; $1,700/American saved in the case of possible 80% starvation.

Is it worth it? I think so, but I'm prejudiced in favor of people NOT starving to death even if that necessitates more taxes. Sociopaths may of course feel differently.
