A groups of scientists have come to agree with the American right that there's no point in limiting CO₂ emissions. But not quite for the same reasons.

Makes me feel warm all over.

As Grant Williamson cynically and aptly notes in American Samizdat, in a point about the coming liberation of Iraq's oil fields:

One thing you can credit free market capitalism for; money is more honest than politics. If you want to know if climate change is real, just ask insurance companies about the millions they spend on research into the question, and the rising insurance premiums for climate-related disasters, such as floods and cyclones.
