   **The climate of this planet is exceedingly complex and not perfectly   
   understood. It makes perfect sense to spend a lot more money to assess   
   the situation.   
      
   HOWEVER, there is one thing that is clear and unequivocal:   
      
   The temperature of the planet is rising and rising fast and CO2 is the   
   major driver that remains under human control.
