Indeed, if we abolished our States and saved all the legislative duplication of State parliaments, then according to Dr Mark Drummond of "Beyond Federation" we'd save $50 billion dollars, which is exactly what they estimate the sulfur gun would cost.<br /><br />Without our ridiculous state governments, we could run the sulfur gun for the planet and not even notice a change in lifestyle!<br /><br />So while I personally am all for a World Government, the geopolitical risk of the sulfur gun is that someone might go it alone. And then who knows? If it works, it might buy us some time. Or it might shut down the Indian monsoon? Who really knows?
