The Insurance Man Knows What Rick Perry Doesn't About Climate Change - Dallas News - Unfair Park
I like the way the insurance thing works. It's sort of like, "Oh, please, yes, do get rid of your environmental agency, and go right ahead and borrow tons of money to create more flooding and cancer.

Please don't be late with the payments, and we prefer cash."

The discussions about whether—and how much—increases of CO2 concentration cause increases in temperature come down to such a cause-effect relationship. A reasonable approach would be to plot temperature rise (effect) on the vertical axis versus CO2 forcing on the horizontal axis. The reason I say “would be” is that climate alarmists have never done it. A pharmaceutical company that approached the FDA for a license to manufacture and distribute a drug for which they failed to produce dose-response curves would be laughed out of the hearing room.
