The debate is over.

Everyone remembers when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its report on global warming, right? 1,500 or so "experts" signed on to the IPCC report. It was therefore declared a consensus among the scientific community.

Al Gore proclaimed the debate over. Only flat-earthers would dare to refute the near-unanimous agreement that man-made global warming was destroying the Earth.

By this same logic, another conclusion now becomes irrefutable.

In sum, Barack Obama's economic proposals are wrong for the American economy. They defy both economic reason and economic experience.

This was the conclusion drawn by 100 leading economists.

Any flat-earthers care to disagree?
