From the Daily Mail

I'm not smart enough to refute Lawson. However, whilst Lawson makes some statements about science that are fundamentally at odds with the scientific consensus at best and straightforwardly false at worst (too repetitive and tedious for me to detail), what Lawson succeeds in doing here is hammer home what a wretchedly difficult moral and global economic issue climate change is. The science is difficult and complex enough, but less difficult than the economics and the ethics because regarding the science there's near-total agreement amongst scientific expertise. Regarding the economics and the ethics, there's little if any.

Well, let's discuss that! Post sources, opinions about the ethics and global economics and politics of climate change.

I'd appreciate it very much if people avoided positing lay, base discourse in opposition to the scientific consensus, because the latter is so extensively and robustly evidenced that the lay observer can have nothing whatsoever of use, interest or importance to offer me.
