It is finally good to see someone making this point: That even if one accepts the worst of the IPCC scenarios (which I do not) the cost of CO2 abatement, particularly in terms of lost economic growth, is far higher than the cost of rising temperatures -- ESPECIALLY for the poor.The above post links to this one from John Tierney.
Excerpt from Tierney's comment section:
It seems we may be approaching a tipping point — NASA has realized that there are other causes of warming (land use, agriculture), CERN is studying cloud/cosmic ray/solar connections to climate, many studies are casting doubt on the degree or even the existence of long-term warming, and CATO studies alternative approaches to the problem of climate change, if there is a problem and if climate is changing abnormally.A related Coyote Blog post is here.
