Does anyone know whether it did or didn't??? NOBODY does. Which is why claims of imminent disaster by zealots are unfounded.

And to use your Brady analogy (full disclosure, I am NOT a Patriots fan ), yes , they started on a streak with many more wins and losses back then. Would you have bet your life savings on the next game? So why bet $130 TRILLION on the next global warming game????

Fear of imminent disaster is unfounded just as the fear of a $130T expenditure is unfounded. Both have been mentioned, both appear to be sensationalized.

This could turn out to be a case of not letting a crisis go to waste. Even if it turns out not to be a crisis, climate change concern is driving advances in some useful technologies that will benefit some today and many in the future. A blank check is certainly uncalled for but directed funding used wisely could have a lot of return on investment.
