Current global climate policy of the biggest green-house-gas (GHG) emitters is to block legally binding agreements to reduce emissions. This means, that for the foreseeable future, households and firms will have to "adapt" to climate change on their own, pretty much.
How much will it cost us schmucks to avoid climate change damages, like: basement flooding, more tropical pests and diseases, higher peak temperatures at home and/or our favorite vacation spots, ... , etc.? No one knows, but everyone is working on it.
But the most qualified people to do this aren't being consulted. That would be those of you who are experiencing recent "screwy weather" where you live and have to, or will have to, dig deep in your pockets to try to counter-act its effects.
How much have you or your neighbors spent recently?
"Climate change" is a scam created by large corporations to justify carbon credits in order to monopolize industrialization at all levels. If you believe in it perhaps I could interest you in a great retirement investment... purchasing shares of stock in the of the Brooklyn Bridge.

That's just the point: even if you don't believe in it, you'll still end up having to adapt to it and it will cost you something to do so. There's is no government in this equation.

Well to you everything is a conspiracy and that anything that cannot be completely disproved is true.

Climate change caused by greenhouse gases is all or mostly a scam. More and more of our extreme weather events are created by secret projects such as HAARP in Alaska. Supposedly, there is a similar project in northern Norway as well.

Ah, but you are forgetting about overcoming the null-hypothesis.
Whether we are doing it or not is immaterial to the fact the world has warmed over the past couple 100 years. To assess the economic impacts, we first have to figure exactly what a warmer world means in terms of economic impacts. Secondly, do these impacts outweigh the benefits?
I see one benefit so far, and that is governments (such as in British Columbia) are increasing consumption taxes while decreasing the less efficient income taxes.

There is typically very little difference in efficiency between income and consumption taxes, and it takes quite a long time for the slight advantage of consumption taxes to become measureable. This of course is without regard to the quality of any particular income or consumption tax. It is simply the general case.
