Climate change. Please only serious answers.

You're asking the wrong question. Whether or not there's climate change is irrelevant, the real question is do I believe that "if we outlaw gas stoves and force everyone to drive electric cars whether they can afford one or not, and even if it doesn't work in their situation, can we really dial back the global temp some fraction of a degree, and in doing so prevent the oceans from rising some fraction of an inch per century, etc etc,etc. thus "saving the world"" The answer is no, I don't believe these clowns have a clue what's happening and how to "fix" anything.

The problem is no one really wants to count the cost (or for that matter knows how) of all the climate policies the government wants to implement, and some percentage of those policies are just downright stupid. For example,apparently there's two different types of instant (tankless)gas water heaters, one being slightly more efficient than the other. I recently read about a bill that would tax the less efficient but more affordable instant water heater. The problem is the less efficient type is still way more efficient than the typical tank kind. Given a choice between a not so efficient water heater and a more efficient but slightly more expensive tankless a lot of people would pick the tankless. Adding a tax that pushes the tankless price up even higher encourages people to keep their less efficient tank type.
