"The discusion worth having is, are we going to destroy civilization as we know it in the present to prevent something we do not know will happen in the future? "
Like stopping someone from using his weapons of mass destruction? Like driving on the right even when we can't see someone coming? The future is always uncertain, but we act in the present on the best evidence we have about what the future will be like. That's life.
And lowering our pollution levels will hardly "destroy civilization as we know it."
"and, since there are equal numbers and degrees of authority, then that is a wash."
That is the very illusion I am trying to dispell.
