TLDR: Value at risk is humanity as we know it. Probability of occurrence is significantly above zero. Cost of unmitigated occurrence is >> cost of unnecessary mitigation. Therefore we should act now.
- pintxo 7y agoIt’s pretty much my view on GW from the beginning of me thinking about it. The stakes are high, acting now and reducing our impact on the environment would be costly, but provide immediate health benefits (clean air, water ...) and reduce the long term effects of GW / reduce the probability of severe outcomes. Never understood why this was not a standard argument.
