The Disastrous Future of the U.S.

Your moniker is well-chosen, fabricator. You chastise my "naivete" while refusing to acknowledge that the so-called solutions proffered for climate change will wreck the world economy. Whether the climate is changing or not, or if the cause is manmade or not, we are better off spending our resources on adaptation rather than trying in vain to put the world back to some arbitrarily chosen ideal. Apparently sometime around the mid-19th century the climate was "correct", so any deviation from this state is evidence of man's sin.

The climate models are not simply imperfect, they are worthless. They can't even do a decent job of backfitting the data they have, much less make valid predictions that can be proved. Before I subscribe to a radical CO2 reduction program (which will drastically reduce the standard of living of every person on Earth), I'd like a bit more proof that it would actually reverse the warming we've seen thus far.

"Climate change" is a political & religious movement, not science.

You people want to bet the future of the global economy (and political system) on a computer model, and "deniers" are the crazy ones? Right...

huangjin is right on the money. Let's control those numbers for the real estate bubble, which was worst in the hurricane/earthquake prone areas.

Tom B, I hope you like crow. Your ilk are going to be eating a lot of it as global temperatures continue to moderate.
