The problem is that almost everyone who is versed in the field agrees that the effect of climate change over the next 100 years will be minor – they just don’t like to admit it because it dejustifies their political influence. Those few who make dire predictions in the press and to policy makers have continually failed to publish anything to the scientific literature. Simply, there is no evidence to justify the attention climate change is getting from policy makers around the world.

Arguments such as “just because we don’t know what is going to happen doesn’t mean we should do nothing about it” only make sense if the “something that must be done” has no consequences. Cap-And-Trade has consequences. Carbon taxes have consequences.
