The benefits far outweigh the problems and it's one the of the more minor changes we are going to have to make to the way we live if we re going to have any hope of curtailing climate change.

Surely this position is not absolute? Indeed, the most effective way to eliminate human-induced climate change is to, well, eliminate those causing it. In your view, can any attempt to curtail climate change be justified? I'm genuinely curious and mean no disrespect, should you feel such.

That'a actually a really interesting question. Clearly there are quite a few "finally solutions" I would put entirely off-limits - mass slaughter, compulsory sterilisation or contraceptives. Outlawing meat? Nope. But I think there's quite a few possibilities between 'lets kill people' at the one end of the spectrum and 'lets change the light bulbs in public street lighting, even if it's a bit harsh' at the other.
