That is argument for universal inaction. There is always more research that can be done to study potential outcomes, but eventually action needs to be taken.

We are staring at a house fire and at a certain point we need to stop debating the potential water damage and turn on the hoses or the entire house will burn down.

My point is that moral outrage is a dangerous policy vehicle. And in this particular situation I am concerned that we might be looking at the wrong fire - to stay in your picture.
