"And this is what makes the last decade's worth of actual world climate
data so threatening (no warming), and why we don't hear too much about
it."
First of all, the fact that you are talking about 10 years worth of data shows that you haven't bothered to learn even the most basic facts of climate science. It was understood almost 60 years ago that the system was too noisy to determine trends over such short periods.
Secondly, here is the "last decades worth". The long term data is even more obvious.
"These policy choices are so patently absurd - reduce GDP by 3-5% in
2020 in order to prevent climate change impacts that could reduce GDP
by 3-5% in 2100 - that they are beyond the realm of rational
debate....it's religion."
Hmm, or maybe your numbers are wrong and its really just mainstream economics.
Funny thing is that you are proving the authors point about sources of data in the modern age as you certainly have come to and affirmed your position via "blog science" and op eds.
