It’s cost benefit analysis. Anthropogenic Climate Change will make the world more expensive in the future by reducing agricultural output, submerging major cities, and causing large migrations of people. Putting carbon in the atmosphere for economic growth was like borrowing money at a high interest rate and now that interest is coming due. Do we pay down the principal today or pay the interest later? What will happen, like any debt society accrues, is that the children will pay for the debt their parents decided to create. I do not agree with wanting to pay before a solution if I don’t know what it is because the US has enough government corruption to dissuade me from wanting to contribute to a “general fund” at the mercy of elected officials and bureaucrats. I don’t care what politicians think. Politicians always find ways to pay for things they want regardless of funding sources (ex: Iraq War) and they do not want to act on climate. Politicians are supposed to be “leaders” they should act like “leaders”, if they are not leading, they will never listen to you. For a political answer, best thing citizens can do in a democracy is stop electing incumbents and start electing people who take climate seriously.
