There is a subjective element, but they are not ENTIRELY subjective. It's pretty clear that less pollution would make for a more sustainable environment... it's just more expensive. It's pretty clear that it would be safer (prudent) to cut back on carbon emissions... it just has negative economic effects.

Long term returns motivates you not to destroy the planet to achieve the goal. Really Long term returns hinge on the fact that converting the asteroid belt O'Neill cylinders is the future of mankind and destroying the planet to get there is fine as long as you get enough people off this rock first.
