In the end, I expect we will have to agree to disagree. These conversations are unlikely to change minds already made up.

Agreed

If I am wrong, I will be called silly, but little or no harm will have been done. I am fine with that.

I strongly disagree. Instituting mitigation policies based on the Precautionary Principle has already put a tremendous strain on economies and the environment. We don't need to wait 100 or 1000 or 10,000 years to see if the models are wrong or right. People and the environment are being harmed significantly, right now, as a result of these policies.

Climate change is inevitable, whatever the cause. By making the world destitute, we are left without the resources to adapt to these inevitable changes.

If the deniers are wrong, they will have a lot to atone for.

If this is a scientific debate, why the persistent use of religious terminology?
