You being personally convinced about something doesn't mean you can't be aware of your own limitations and want to be careful about implementing solutions too early to limit their impact of you're wrong.
The difference is clear when you give an opinion about someone else's problems and how they should proceed vs when you have to decide about your own life. It's harder to implement change when you have to live with the consequences.
- graemep 1y agoYes, but which is the lesser risk then? There seems to be a bias to do nothing rather than do something even if there are known benefits to doing something. There are definitely lots of consequences to lots of things we have done with regard to climate change and pollution. If we avoided everything with consequences the only action is do nothing. > The difference is clear when you give an opinion about someone else's problems The global environment is everyone's problem, surely?
