My favorite variant is Pascal's Mugging: A person comes up to you and tells you "I am a god. Give me your wallet or you will face eternal suffering in the afterlife." The person isnt a god: you lose the $50 you had in your wallet and an afternoon requesting new cards / IDs if you accept, and nothing happens if you refuse The person is a god: you lose the time and money if you accept, and face the worst possible punishment if you refuse Surely the only logical option is to give the person your wallet! (Note: I do agree with the original OP of this comment chain that it is worth the cost of climate mitigation. Climate change mitigation is not a kind of Pascal's Wager because global warming is scientific fact. We know with certainty that it will continue to happen without a course change, and that this will cause problems for humanity and the environment)
