Reuters AlertNet - GLOBAL: Humanitarian costs of climate change unpredictable

The report by a group of researchers at the Feinstein International Centre of the US-based Tufts University also uses various models to project the likely rise in humanitarian spending over the next 20 years as the frequency and intensity of natural disasters increases.

But Peter Walker, director of the centre and one of the researchers, said the point of the report was not to say, "This is what the future will be ... rather it is to say, 'Stop making wild and sensationalist predictions and admit the real problem is that we have been negligent in the data we collect, and so have placed ourselves in a situation where we are hard-pressed to say anything meaningful about what the future will look like.'"

...
Reid says he is convinced that many senators want to move on the issue this year.

"We have to take a whack at it," he said.

But if global warming is The Most Important Issue ever, why wait?!

And if you're confident about getting something done, do you tell people you're going to "take a whack at it"?
