To me the comment says "Shift the argument from 'Are we sure climate change will happen?' to 'How much insurance against climate change should we buy?'"
However much expertise has been invested in risk analysis, I don't see the public debate being framed in terms of risk analysis.
Maybe this is an example of the level of skill in the PR campaign for denialism -- no need to win the argument if you can just get it framed the way you want.
- js8 11y ago> to 'How much insurance against climate change should we buy?' What does it mean? To buy insurance from whom? If you're asking about what is by many scientists considered to be a long-term safe CO2 level, then the answer is 350 ppm. Which we already blew through.
