Any time you bring up global warming the discussion tends to descend into silliness. So let's say I stipulate that it's possible that the vast majority of legit climate scientists are wrong and that the corporatists who stand to benefit short-term from denying the science are correct. I'll lump the "part of God's plan" folks in there as well. And in exchange I would like those people to stipulate that it's possible that the scientists are right after all and human activity is causing climate change.
I don't know 100% for certain who is right, but here's what I do know. Let's assume that whatever we think is wrong. If I'm wrong, we cost some very large and powerful companies some money for the next 10, 15, 20 years while they lower their carbon footprint. If the other side is wrong, life as we know it on earth will cease to exist. Cities will be flooded and there will be mass extinctions.
So which mistake would you rather make?
