But let’s say we can go forward 100 years and see how it all turns out…lets say it turns out you’re right and everything I’m doing is insignificant and climate change was just part of the natural ebb and flow. Personally I’m fine with that because basically that means at most I wasted some money and time (I've also been known to waste some money in Vegas on occasion).
Bottomline is I can be wrong and no harm done. Your approach...you basically can't be wrong.

“Let me talk for a moment to those who are skeptical about climate change,” Mattis, who left the Defense Department in December, told an audience during a memoir tour talk at George Washington University. “Even if it might not be the case, if there is a chance that it’s climate change and it can be as potentially catastrophic as some think it could be, wouldn’t it be good to have an insurance policy?”
Mattis said a plan introduced by the Climate Leadership Council—which would levy a fee on entities whose mines, wells, or ports emit carbon dioxide and return those proceeds to individual Americans—makes sense. He laid out examples of climate effects the military needs to consider. For one, melting sea ice has created “a new open body of water that, from a military point of view, we have to deal with,” he said.
“To me, this is just science,” he said. “I’m not going to get into the politics of it.”

That the point there is harm to the renewable energy push. There is harm to the economy in slowed down development. It is reasonably argued that the California wildfires are due in large part to the cost of renewables taking money away from infrastructure improvements that could have prevented much of it.

I hope everyone realizes, if we shackle our economy, Russia, China, & the rest will laugh all the way to the BANK$$.
Look at it like an island overrun with rabbits, no predators. I seriously doubt we could stop any man made climate change anyway. That is, IF it was actually happening and we were the cause.
May as well chill a few IPA’s & carry on. People almost always need something to fret about, it’s part of the ‘human condition’.
The world will still be here in 30 years, in case you’re worried.

I try to be cynical, but it hard to keep up. Bloomberg spouts the party line on climate change, then boards his Falcon to fly to his house on Bermuda, the highest point is 249’ and the runway is a reclaimed reef. President Obama goes on about climate change and buys a $12 million house on Martha’s Vineyard, waterfront no less. DiCaprio jets around the world producing tons on worthless carbon emissions from his private jet. They are celebrated as being “woke” to the climate, but watch what they do, their revealed preferences. Average Joe Sixpack tows his bass boat behind his F-350 and is blamed for climate change.
When the loudest politicians actually act in concert with their words, I’ll take them seriously. I’m not arguing the science, I’m arguing the optics and the politics.

We found out the answer to that in France, the people started rioting. When history looks back on these events, the people who stopped the progress of nuclear power, will be the ones blamed for destroying the climate. In other words, it was the environmentalists who killed the planet, by trying to save it.

Oh wait you're the same guy crying that illegals are detained at the border.
Not surprising your entire political compass is based on emotion rather than logic and reason.
