"1. Global Warming is not real. We do not address it, and just deal with other problems."
And then we get to reap the rewards of full utilization of cheap energy resources and activities that would otherwise be prohibited by the envirofascists.
"2. Global Warming is not real. We do deal with it, and, though we devote a lot of capital to a false cause, at least pollution is curbed (if only slightly)."
And then devote a lot of capital and resources toward a false cause as you said, and throw a wrench into the gears of the economy, fucking it all up.
"3. Global Warming is real. We do address it, and avert a catastrophe."
Even if it is real, it won't be a catastrophe. The world has been far warmer than it is now before and it wasn't bad at all. In fact, the amount of arable land expanded and we experienced an era of unprecedented economic productivity and prosperity...
"4. Global Warming is real. We do not address it, and shit gets real bad."
Except things won't get bad at all because 1) it isn't true, and 2) even if it was, it wouldn't be a bad thing anyways.
What makes you think you know what the "best" temperature for the world is? How do you know things wouldn't be a little better if it was a little bit warmer? Maybe it would be better if it was a little cooler? Maybe we don't know?
