I don't agree, and you don't either. There may be some point in not throwing a lot of money at a problem that hasn't been determined to be a problem yet, but regardless, prudence is always in order. It makes good sense to continue studying climate change. We may at least learn our limitations with regard to predicting climate.
Global warming research suppressed due to intolerance of scepticism

Good, then stop exhaling if you are so worried about CO2 causing global warming.
There certainly IS a definitive conclusion. Man made greenhouse gasses are warming the atmosphere. There is no question about it anymore. The debate is over. It is a fact. Climatologists consider it as true as biologists consider evolution to be true.
Facts are not subject to your opinion.
And it IS 97%. When directly asked about it, 97% say that man has caused most of the warming over the last century.
Because CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Know what that is?
You keep confusing your ignorance with what science actually says. We DO know it's a problem and that AGW is a fact. Your saying otherwise does not change that. Facts are not determined by your ignorant opinion.
We can pay a little now or much more later.
Do you know what a greenhouse gas does? Do you know we have raised it's levels by 40%?
How can that NOT cause warming?

RAPID ICE LOSS
Glaciers in west Canada melting fast
"VANCOUVER -- The mountains of British Columbia that cradle glaciers in west Canada are in rapid retreat, which has become a major climate change issue, local news agency said Sunday, citing an American state-of-the union report on climate change.
"Most glaciers in Alaska and British Columbia are shrinking substantially," The Canadian Press quoted the US National Climate Assessment as saying.
"Glaciers in British Colombia and America's northern state of Alaska are losing 20 to 30 percent of what is melting annually from the Greenland Ice Sheet, the report said, adding that it amounts to about 40 to 70 gigatons per year, or about 10 percent of the annual discharge of the Mississippi River.
"The global decline in glacial and ice-sheet volume is predicted to be one of the largest contributors to global sea-level rise during this century," the report said.
"Brian Menounos, a geography professor at the University of Northern British Columbia and one of the scientists involved in cross-border, multi-agency research into glacial loss, said he was concerned about the melting speed of the glaciers.
"We've seen an acceleration of the melt from the glaciers," he said, adding, "When we start to look at some of these individual mountain ranges, we're seeing some rates that are truly exceptional."
"There are 200,000 glaciers on Earth, 17,000 of them in British Columbia, according to the report. "

What's with you and boys in pajamas?
You are projecting again. Why do you reflexively think of boys in pajamas? I hope you are not another ZZZ / Opt777.
And, my 97% figure regarding your posting history is much more accurate than the bogus 97% figure that you have posted hundreds of times. That is a fact that is beyond dispute.
