. I think somewhere between E - F. Possibly G if we keep hiding our heads in the sand. I don't know as much about it as I should. But of the possibilities --
A. It's real, but we assume everyone's being alarmist, so do nothing = deep shit.
B. It's real, we try to do something, it doesn't help as much as we'd like = we give ourselves time to find better solutions.
C. It's not real, but we're worried so we try to do something = we have a cleaner, safer, healthier planet.
D. It's not real, and we assume everyone's being alarmist, so do nothing = not much change.
I don't think we dare gamble on D; if we're wrong, it will be to late to change things by the time we decide to try.
Between B & C -- it doesn't matter if we start doing something now; either way, we benefit.
If A -- pretty self-explanatory.
I'd rather try to improve things and find out they're not necessary than the other way around; it gives us the best chance of continuing quality of life. .
