Throughout the entire history of our planet the climate has been changing. It was changing before Man and will be changing long afterwards. To call it "Climate Change" is utterly useless and serves only to put up a convenient label that is completely impossible to disprove, because everyone agrees - the climate is changing.
What is not agreed, is the degree of change, its manifestation and the effect, if any, that Man is having on said climate change.

In particular I rarely if ever see a comparison between the costs of adjusting to a warmer climate (e.g. relocating low-lying communities if you think the sea level will rise) vs. the costs of radically changing our energy systems (production & usage).
