I agree. But make the same point about the effects of AGW and people lose their cool.

It's a valid point of discussion, but unfortunately almost everyone opposed to climate action is anti-scientific and political in their motivations, and usually duplicitous about it. Which causes people to lose their cool.
Most actual climate scientists, on the other hand, are more than happy to entertain honest skepticism. It's integral to science.
I'd say that motivations are economic. And skeptical scientists and politicians are bought. It's the same strategy that tobacco firms used. Including the astroturfing.
In summary - models of the effects of AGW have proved largely useless in terms of predicting the impact of same, or even the existence of net negative impact.
So why are we proposing to spend vast sums of money, not to mention increasing the price of energy, to address this issue?
