Why not wait till we're (more) certain? What's the worst that could happen? Catastrophic, runaway climate-change? I say we risk it - at least the science will have been settled...

FUD works both ways.

Proposed responses to supposed man-made climate change are not free.

For example, if you're a rich American, you simply hop on the bandwagon and pay more for stuff. Buy a Tesla, live in the city, pay some extra taxes, etc.

If you're not rich, you have to think carefully.
