that enters the atmosphere today to make its full impact on climate.
His proposal is a perfect recipe for not acting on the problem until

I can imagine McKitrick's take on health insurance: Since the ultimate
proof of the need for medical care is death, we will deny everyone
health insurance until they are dead, at which point they will receive a

Recently we've seen McKitrick's coauthorship of the infamous "no mean
temperature" article, and now this proposal. Hmm...
