Let's pretend that the Democrats win 60+ votes in the Senate in 2008, carry the House, and win the presidency. What policy initiatives would specifically enact in regards to global warming, climate change? iron should provide some ideas at least.

Give federal dollars to research initiatives run by relatives and friends. EArmarks for home district.

Use a system of taxes and tariffs to favor connected businesses. Easy to do since everything uses carbons at some point.

Generally I think they will make a fortune for themselves manipulating the economy for personal gain under the banner of the environment.

Short answer:

The economy, personal responsibility, and freedom get ass raped ... no lube

Imagine a country founded by people who revolted against taxes morphing into a country with a bunch of morons happy to have half their money taken away and 90% of that money being wasted on non essential crap.

revolted against "taxation without representation"

They would sign international agreements that would restrict us but not China and India.
