Climate science is interesting and worthy, but it's still too shaky and incomplete to justify trillion dollar decisions.
So cleaner, less polluting energy sources don't justify it right there? Check the air quality in Beijing or parts of India for a non-climate-change reason to get off fossil fuel. Also, we're going to run out of fossil fuels at some point, and delaying that point by lowering our us of them is worth it right there. We're resorting to fracking to get out oil that wasn't economical before - and it's making more of a mess than ever before.
For anyone who would have us Act Now Before It's Too Late, alarmist is the right term.
Do you want to get out of South Florida real estate before or after the bubble pops? At some point, banks are going to start refusing to write mortgages for the Miami area due to recurrent flooding - at which point all the real estate will be underwater once their land values plummet (pun intended).
