You're implying I don't do that. I've asked for the goods are you aren't giving them out.

I think we both think the same thing with respect to climate change. You want us to decarbonize even though you're skeptical and I'm not as skeptical of the evidence and therefore want us to decarbonize.

The Economist had a good passage a while back saying that even if you're skeptical, the global costs are something like 2-3% of what we would have grown anyway. And considering the potentially disastrous ramifications, this is like payina 2-3% insurance premium to mitigate against those outcomes. If you think about it, you pay at least that much of your income per year for life insurance why wouldn't we do it for the life of our planet too?
