> Effects of warming are guesses. No they're not, though you betray a deep ignorance of the science and success of climate modelling by making use of this well-worn rhetorical falsehood. > stopping cold turkey rights now will very likely result in economic depression, blackouts, inability to heat homes, and death. Yup still a straw man. > The main question is, do we invest in a future mitigation or to get off carbon emissions now? And now it's a false dichotomy. We can and should do all the things: carbon emission reductions now aiming toward net zero, including transition to renewables, efficiency improvements, carbon capture, etc. We should also start scrubbing carbon from the atmosphere, planting trees, and whatever else it takes to get atmospheric carbon levels down. And much of that will help buy us time for societal adaptation: moving folks from coastal areas or regions where the wet bulb temperature will become fatal, making changes to our food supply, etc, etc, all while continuing to decarbonize. BTW, I wouldn't waste time replying. My main goal was to ensure anyone coming across this thread saw a counterargument to what you're putting into the world. It's pretty clear based on you comment history that you won't be moved by some rando on the internet so there's little point in continuing this discussion.
