czar solutions have worked well for many problems.
the problem with scientific solutions is that they tend to overestimate the effect of natural disasters by half. If you take the Katrina disaster as an example, as bad as it was, it was nowhere hear the predictions of the average weather scientists in the years prior to the actual event. This must be taken into account.
Careful planning for reacting to to near term problems that can be predicted with relative accuracy, (totally absent in the Katrina event), is way more cost effective than long term preventive measures based on scientific estimates of environmental damage 50 or more years down the road.
Once again using the Katrina event, if we had spent the money preparing for an event that was nearly certain to occur, (even the overkill solutions recommended), it would have saved money and saved lives.
We know that AGW is a fact and can not be prevented. In my opinion it does not threaten our existence if we focus on meeting the threat instead of fruitlessly trying to prevent it.
