Because, for those with common sense, IF we are indeed responsible for global warming and we sit around and do nothing about it the consequences are catastrophic.

What economic consequences of getting the heck off of a fossil fuel that we are apparently going to run through in about 200 years from when we started burning them with abandon? What?

The oil war in Iraq is going to cost us maybe a trillion dollars which we have to borrow. What about THOSE economic consequences? We haven't begun to approach the economic consequences of an oil war with China and India. What about the economic consequences of $4 or $5 gallon gas in a country full of suburbs and no mass transit to speak of? Ask Walmart about the economic consequences of $70 bbl oil. Ask Walmart abut $100 bbl oil.

You want absolute climate models, try something easier. Where are the absolute economic models that prove we will have nasty economic consequences by moving to alternate fuels from fossil fuels? Where are they?
