1. The work being denied is done by professionals who have a professional interest in not being wrong. Scientists and economists have politics, but in almost all cases their profession is a higher calling.

2. The mechanisms make sense. The chemistry behind predictions of global warming is indisputable even if the magnitudes are debatable. It is obvious that old, low-income people will drop insurance if it costs a considerable fraction of their income. Etc., etc.

3. There is broad agreement about the direction of change, even if there are debates about the numbers. In science consensus is not the same as unanimity. Same in economics.

4. Exact and indisputable predictions are not required to choose an action. Denial is likely to lead to disaster.

The earth heats and cools periodically.

The climate always changes.

Bad numbers in.....bad number out....

The ACA was not supposed to cost over 1T, and in the beginning, it did not....where is it now?

Bad numbers in...bad numbers out...

Everything you said is false. The scientists are bought and paid for. When you're being paid to show that humans are causing temperature to rise, you do what your financier wants. By the way, 66% of "scientists" from the cook study have no opinion regarding anthropological global warming. Only 0.7 believe that humans are causing most of the warming. Not 97%. That's a lie that traveled around the world.

The science does not support anthropological global warming. Look at the post war economic boom period. NO warming for 30 years! The Danish Meteorilogical Institute has shown that it's the SUN that controls temperature. The data fits like a glove.

“The Sun is a primary driver of climate change — and has a far greater impact than changes in CO2." "This warming and cooling of arctic temperatures agrees almost perfectly with the changes in the sun's energy output.” -- Dr. Wie-Hock “Willie” Soon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

Ice core data shows that temperature swings are normal.

18,000 years ago New York was under a mile of ice. That tells you that temperature change is normal.

And what caused temperatures to spike upward from 1910 to 1940? This was BEFORE the spike in our CO2 emissions.

"Climate Change" is a globalist scam used to raise our taxes.

Wow, you have really drunk the Kool-aid.

When the CBO scored the ACA, they were way off on a lot of their predictions. They are not gods. not omniscient.

Compared to the average over the past 10,000 years, we are currently living in a rather cool period

On a completely unrelated topic? You can argue whether your nonsense is facts or truth....but maybe do it on some climate change thread instead of one on the CBO?

as for their accuracy on the ACA, they were pretty good:

It's difficult to predict behavior especially with all the external factors. This is the republican theme, the CBO, NASA, FBI, MSM, courts are all wrong, just trust our opinion which is based on ......?
