Now you are a real dummy there, Whitey. Care to back anything you are stating with data from real scientists?

Now does that say that climate change itself is not an issue?
4 trillion dollars is not an issue?
And look at where they are talking about government policy.
What they are saying is that the governments need to be more coordinated and proactive in creating policy to deal with climate change.
Exactly the opposite of what you claim. And this is from their site.
Trillions of dollars at stake from climate change
Climate change increases uncertainty for long term institutional investors and as such, needs to be pro-actively managed.
Investment opportunities in low carbon technologies could reach $5 trillion.
The cost of impacts on the physical environment, health and food security could exceed $4 trillion. Climate change related policy changes could increase the cost of carbon emissions by as much as $8 trillion.
Increasing allocation to climate sensitive assets will help to mitigate risks and capture new opportunities.
Engagement with policy makers is crucial for institutional investors to pro-actively manage the potential costs of delayed and poorly co-ordinated climate policy action.
Policy developments at the country level will produce new investment opportunities as well as risks that need to be constantly monitored.
The EU and China/East Asia are set to lead investment in low carbon technology and efficiency improvements over the coming decades.
Now Kooky, no one expect any kind of intelligent reply from you, and you have never disappointed anyone by posting one.
Now Kooky, we never expected you to be anything but in the tinfoil hat brigade.
Record cold expected at the Oscars tonight..........people freezing their asses off on the red carpet...................
Wonder how many people out in TV land will be saying to themselves, "Shit.......we gotta do something about this global warming!!!!!!!"

How old are you? and you still don't understand "winter" and February being the coldest month of the year and all?

I believe he is pointing out (as Chris and olfraud do ad nauseum) that the weather is unseasonably cold this winter (just as it was last winter in California when many crops were wiped out) and once again yet more crops are being damaged by the unseasonably cold weather in California.

Without getting into the peculiarities of calling cold weather in winter unseasonable, using any isolated or outlier local/regional weather event as support for AGW or No-AGW, is simply ignorance of what climate is and what climate change portends. Regardless of who does it.
The facts indicate that the global average temp has risen sharply over the last few decades and the rise seems to be accelerating.

God, Walleyes, do you ever tire of repeating such bullshit? Here is Dr. Spencer's graphs;
UAH Update for January 2011: Global Temperatures in Freefall « Roy Spencer, Ph. D.
You can clearly see that the running mean from 2002 to 2007 was higher than any previous highs excepting that of 1998.
Actually GISSTEMP is the only data set that shows a rise over the last 10 years
"A fairly aggressive strategy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions under current reduction scenarios "does little to mitigate warming over the next 20 to 30 years," the study said. With carbon dioxide reductions alone, global temperatures are still projected to rise by more than 2 degrees Celsius by 2050 over pre-industrial levels.
But reducing black carbon and ground-level ozone reductions would delay the warming for another 20 years, until 2070, according to the study."
