Den Tandt: Blind faith won't make gaps in climate science go away

The human toll of rolling back development — which is unavoidable, if global CO2 emissions are to be sharply curbed — has yet to be carefully considered, McItrick says.

"Think of the alleviation of suffering that comes when people get electricity, access to motor vehicles, ordinary development. To stop all that from happening, it just seems to me that would be a much heavier human toll than just learning to adapt to climate change as it comes along."

Dr. Judith Curry, chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, agrees. She posits human causes, but also other possible causes. One of her concerns is regional climate variability. "In some parts of the world, warming would be good," she says. "Think Canada, Russia, northern China for starters. They might have more hospitable weather, longer growing seasons, a longer tourist season."
