In fact, the actual - not alleged - causes and mechanisms of climate change are accepted science, and not actually worth raking over.
The denialist propaganda machine likes to claim that the science isn't sett led, but that's just fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Wrong. The coast line will get submerged when the ice slips of Greenland an d West Antarctica, and starts displacing see-water.
This happens with a rush, when it happens, as evidenced by sea level rise a t the end of the last ice, and large "accidental" rocks on the floor of the North Atlantic which got floated out to sea in icebergs which melted a lon g way out to sea.
Predicting when it will happen depends on working out what's going on at th e ice rock interface under several miles of ice, which does seem to be in t he too-hard basket.

The IPCC prefers to make predictions about stuff that is predictable.
As if dumping CO2 into the atmosphere doesn't violate all sorts individual and property rights. The fact that is going to take a while before the viol ations get really irksome doesn't actually excuse it.
Persuading people to drive electric cars and get their energy from solar pa nels and wind turbines doesn't strike me as violating anybody's individual or property rights. Not allowing people to burn fossil carbon for fuel prob ably would, but taxing that activity until it became impossibly expensive w ouldn't.
Wealth transfer by taxation is a fact of life. In the US at the moment it f lows from the middle classes (who do pay taxes) to the very rich who largel y don't.
The top 1% of the US income distribution is very happy with the current arr angements, and don't feel any need to talk about changing them.
It make take shooting to get get them to think about making more equitable arrangements.
97% of climate change scientists think that your nightmares will come true.The ten out of the top 300 who don't probably haven't got rational justific ations for their optimism. Christy and Spencer are born-again Christians, w hich probably does complicate their reasoning.
