EPA’s own climate model: Effect on temps of mega-carbon tax too small to measure on 50-year scale | JunkScience.com

[Pat Michaels] One can use the EPA’s own model (curiously, acronymed MAGICC) to assess the effects on global temperature of emissions reductions that would be caused by a carbon tax.

Anything less does even less.
