Oh, climate change won't actually hurt our economy? Well no problem then, all good.
Climate change isn't an economic issue, we just can't stop seeing it that way.

It sure is an economic issue.. what runs our economy, what has lifted so many people out of poverty in the last 100 years is access to cheap energy the very thing that is contributing to climate change. There is a litany of examples currently and historically the should illustrate for you the true cost of bad economic policy and/or bad economic systems. Tackling climate change isn’t free.
How should we look at it?
