The data is out there. But the debate has been politicized by those with a vested interest in keeping our energy decisions as per the status quo.
Here's my take.
What if we are wrong? Then we've acted in a responsible manner to keep our environment in better shape for future generations. Seems to be a very conservative position. Maybe we even create a whole new economy that allows economic growth via greener investments in green technology.
What if they are wrong? Then the damage they have done in not acting is probably irreparable, as we enter a runaway scenario where we cannot change the outcome of the condition that we have created.
Which side do you want to err on?
