Put another way, ignoring the risks and contining our reliance on CO2 and methane and etc emissions has put our economy and living standards in jeopardy, especially for the poorest people.

Even basic economic concepts like externalities are ignored because folks embrace thought-terminating terms like "job-killing policies".
