I don't get this line of thought at all. Delaying disaster by 10 or 20 years is a good thing. Even if - as you say - all it will do is cause people to drag their feet for 20 more years, that is STILL a positive outcome! And if any actual progress can take place over that 10 to 20 years - which is, you know, kind of the point - then it is a huge win!
Where is the downside there?
If we can't solve this with an extra 20 years in our pockets, then we sure as hell aren't going to solve it
without those 20 years!
