Well, rightly or wrongly, now that Trump's got in and Brexit's happening, no-one is going to give a fig about alleged man-made climate change; politically speaking, that is now dead as a dodo. From this point or thereabouts, it's going to be a free-for-all with wealth and jobs creation dials set to maximum and hang any consequences, all part of the political sea-change we are witnessing.

But we ARE finding out by direct empirical observation already.
You can moan all you want about climate models, but actual honest to goodness empirical measurements of temperature rises and the effect on the world are being made as we speak, and have been for years. Unless the rising temperatures, rising sea levels and death of half of the Great Barrier Reef were all some shady ploy to stop Big Coal.
