Who said anything about the "Co2 effect on climate?" Of course we can predict the "Co2 effect on climate." Why are you introducing a completely different subject that has no bearing on our last exchange? Of course we can predict the effect of Co2 on climate. We just can't predict all the effects from Co2 on climate. Not accurately all the time, but we do know that these effects are not good effects.
What specific Co2 effects on climate are you offering up for discussion? There are lots of'em, and none to pleasant I'm afraid. There are myriad "externalities," to use your phrase, attached to fossil fuel use. Dozens, if not hundreds. Briefly, and most obviously, the deletrious effects it has on human health, the environment, and the air we breathe. Break each of those categories down, and they each contain countless "externalities. Ever hear of an oil spill? Those, I'm told are whoppers of externalities. The 8 million people a year that die from pollution linked to fossil fuel-produced particulates and smog? That's a big externality, especially for those 8 million. Use your imagination, kid---or better yet, do a little research before entering the comment portion of our programming here at TK.
We know that increasing amounts of Co2 greatly affect the atmosphere, and we know how those effects affect us. What we don't know is what the effects on the atmosphere in the future will look like, because, yes, it's the future.
And how about presenting a nice little sample basket of your "50 years of failed predictions," whatever the hell that means. Must be a lot of "em. And predictions of what, exactly? You need to spell this out. UFO sightings? I'm beginning to think you have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Bear yourself out boy, bear yourself out. You certainly don't know what an externality is, and that's what got this whole damn discussion going.
