Bullsh!t. The whole basis of this is you don't want to take a financial hit to potentially help others. If doing something about CC was going to make you money, you would be screaming if something WASN'T being done, would you not?

Why do we need to understand everything about CC before we do something? An excuse to rationalise the point above is my guess. Funnily enough there is an analogy. Keynes' economic theories overrode classical economic theory and now there are people out there saying that Keynes was wrong. We constantly make decisions that affect every element of society on flawed economic theories and the models that accompany them? And i have no doubt that these flaws have cost people lots of money. What's the difference?

No-one likes a pedant but if you want do it properly, disprove the null hypothesis - there are no statistically significant changes in the climate of planet earth. If you can show that then the hypothesis stands. I doubt you can show that.....

There is a forum on Weatherzone that discusses the issue of AGW. It is full of geniuses slapping themselves on the back telling each other how clever they are that the scientists know stuff all. Perhaps a better place for Tony/R James to present their arguments. I have no doubt that

will recieve resounding nods and cheers of applause. Even the macro and the submarine will get a warm reception.
