> Case in point.

My post clearly stated your case in point:

"Now, we live with lots of unproved theories."

But confidence in some are more important than in others. And in fact, some don't matter at all if the theory is wrong, so long as the result is approximately right.

The point you missed is that for this one, trillions of dollars are on the line -- and we don't have that kind of money to flit away. The kinds of dramatic changes that climate alarmists are wanting, demanding, are insanely expensive. Things like curtailing carbon output overnight don't come cheap.

We cannot afford to be wrong about this.

>> You do have more than hysterics,

I'm one of the few here who is NOT displaying hysterics. It is apparent that the only real panic here is to make sure people aren't sucked into pouring money down yet another sinkhole.

As Illinois craters into bankruptcy. As predicted.

And yes, California and other states will follow.

No, we don't have 100s of billions of dollars to flush down the toilet.
