“Our imperfect understanding of
the causes and consequences of climate change
means the science is far from settled. This, in
turn, means proposed efforts to mitigate climate
change by reducing GH gas emissions are
premature and misguided.”

First sentence is dead-on. Second sentence is extraordinarily illogical. Whenever an understanding of a potential causal link is uncertain, any action to mitigate the potential effects is misguided? A child eats cashews and almost dies. The doctor says, the cashews might have had nothing to do with the outbreak. Does the parent say great, no precautions necessary? Frankly, with that kind of logic, its hard to read on. But I did. There are some really good points. The text is one-sided as you would expect given the financial backing of the foundation. It is a good counter-argument to much of the “consensus view.” It’s sort of like Al Gore. A little too much advocacy and hyperbole; no attempt to reconcile a lot of possibilities which we do not yet fully comprehend.
