Snort! The EPAs own cost benefit analysis on their CO2 regulations says it is costly and of little use Even if it turns out that mans emission of greenhouse gases is a threat, EPAs own cost-benefit analyses dont really identify any benefits from additional regulation, says Case Western Reserve law professor Jonathan Adler. If we are serious about dealing with climate change, we need to reduce per capita emissions of carbon dioxide to the level they were during the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War. That reduction in our industrial capacity would be one of the worst costs the human race had ever suffered, all for tiny benefits. Even if we did everything the environmentalists want, the regulators admit it might only lower temperatures a fraction of a degree, a century from now. By that time, we will have cheaper ways of dealing with the problem, if it is a problem. But government rarely pays attention to costs vs. benefits. realclearpolitics/articles/2014/08/27/green_monster_123781.html
