The science around climate change is well established--it's happening, it's man-made, and it will continue--but it's a bit more complicated than that. The physics suggests a relatively small increase in temperature (<1C); it's the positive feedbacks, particularly water vapor vapor feedbacks, that make climate change so potentially costly.


It doesn't help that estimates of the climate sensitivity seem to be all over the place.


I think being "all over the place" is what skeptics and "denialists" have a problem with. Let's get more data before making drastic changes to our regulations that may hurt hard-working people.
