The peer-reviewed science (which, as has been clear for some time, is
not always a guarantee of accuracy), does not all agree. So that
doesn't settle the issue.

Which of the things Jones is saying do you think are inaccurate?
What I thought was a little encouraging was some small sign of
uncertainty from one of those representing apparent certainty
concerning a matter revolving around unreliable models. Perhaps, one
day, more economists and risk managers will also become a little more
modest and less dogmatic regarding their clearly non-scientific discipline.
