The ramifications of getting this wrong make it unlike almost any other issue of the modern age.
If we act against climate change without needing to - then what are the ongoing implications of that?
If we need to act against climate change and we don't ... what are the ongoing implications of that?
Unless the scientific consensus were to swing significantly towards disbelief in climate change (or more accurately against man's role in causing it) I'd really rather we hedge our bets and do something to try and reduce our impact on climate. Tootle about trying to lessen our impact on climate when we aren't actually responsible for it in the first place risks causing a bunch of economic upset and social change - do nothing when we are the cause and we risk our own extinction.
