"If climate change turns out to be wrong, and we (as a society) had to endure some extra economic hardship isn't that worth it if climate change turns out to be a very real with disastrous consequences?"

READ IT AGAIN!
I guess you need further explanation. I'll break it down more simply.
Premise: We as society take "action" to attempt to prevent climate change.
Results:
1) Climate change is WRONG then the worst case scenario - Society possibly endures extra economic hardship for no reason.
2) Climate change is RIGHT then the worst case scenario - Society possibly avoids catastrophic environmental disaster.
This is the number cited in third-hand and twice removed drive-by studies like the one you used earlier.

Always a good idea to proof read what you wrote.
[quote=HyperionGap;34775374]I should not have included the "a". I'm sorry, typos happen.

[quote=HyperionGap;34776130]So first you go on yammering about the Zimmerman one and now you're going off on the Anderegg one? Can't figure it out or what.
I honestly don't understand why. If climate change turns out to be wrong, and we (as a society) had to endure some extra economic hardship isn't that worth it if climate change turns out to be a very real with disastrous consequences?
I mean the only reason why I can imagine it is because the congressmen are simply bought by the Oil & Gas industry and honestly just don't care about what the evidence has to say.
I don't believe people are against climate change, Climate change has been happening since the beginning of time...and no one can stop it....
can you stop tornados, earth quakes, ice ages, meteors hitting earth, etc? No, and it is absolutely silly to think or believe that climate change is happening b/c of man? If it is going to happen, it's going to happen and nothing we can do will change that....yes, I believe global warming is happening...but weather works in cycles, and climate changes are inevidable....
why human beings "think" they can control everything is beyond me?
