This viewpoint I have no problem with.
Corporatejay thinks climate change is happening as a result of humans but doesn't think it's worth it to impact the economy by making changes. He doesn't call the science into question, he doesn't create hoops to jump through.
It's one thing to call the science into question and it's another thing entirely to say "I don't think X amount of changes is worth it."
I think most of the people who call the science into question do so because it's easier than agreeing it's happening and saying "I don't really care enough to change."
