Game Theory: Climate Change Edition
If the science is BS, and we try to "fix" things, we waste some money but we are fine.
If the science is real, and we do something, we give ourselves a chance to keep on keeping on.
If the science is real, and we do nothing, humanity is in serious trouble.
Those are the 4 options. Regardless of your beliefs or politics, it seems like trying to fix things is the preferable outcome.

There is so much wrong with the assumptions not sure where to start. Let's apply the same logic and Bruce Willis it. The planet has actually been hit by an asteroid before and destroyed most life on it...there is precedent for it.
If the threat is fake and we do nothing, we are fine.
If the threat is fake and we do something, we waste some money.
If the threat is real and we do nothing, humanity is in serious trouble.
If the threat is real and we do something, we give ourselves a chance.
Regardless of your beliefs it seems like trying to fix something is the preferable outcome. So we should be sinking a ton of money into spaceship, telescopes, space stations, etc.
You can make that logic game theory and always come out with the answer that you should spend a ton of money fixing any and every problem somebody might maybe be worried about just in case...the only problem is, nobody has a ton of money sitting around.

Ok WhitneyHouston. Your whole premise is that you don't want to reduce pollution/emissions because of the cost to the manufacturer, which will then get passed on to you. In essence, you are saying you don't want to personally pay for some fairy tale.
Ok, now let's look at a real world example. The last 6 months, the one thing Trump has done is he's scaled back regulations, coal producers can now dump raw sewage into Rivers again (that's true freedom right there) and we pulled out of the Paris Accord and Trump wants to gut the EPA.
In your theory world, the price of utilities and manufactured goods should be going down then. Or at least not increasing anymore as regulations are being rolled back.
Now.... Let's look at prices the last 6 months, what have they done???
Fawk you are such a blinded shill. -
The trouble with you smug, progressive fascists is that you can easily change your behavior to fit your conviction dejour but, you don't. Instead you spend all this time and energy trying to get others to force me to change my behavior.2001400ex said:

Chinned for the Whitney Houston reference. Circa 1986/1987 hot perky white t-shirt Whitney Houston. Maybe even up through 1992 The Bodyguard Whitney when Kevin Costner was getting some of that. Not post-Bobby Brown drugged out Whitney.2001400ex said:Ok WhitneyHouston.
