A Facebook friend of mine, Steven McCain made this observation:
Climate change is either true or false. We have a 50% chance of being right. That leaves us with only 4 options.
1. It's true and we take action. We leave a better world for our descendants.
2. It's true and we take no action. The world as we know it disappears.
3 It's false and we take action. We leave a better world for our descendants.
4. It's false and we take no action. We leave a more polluted world for our descendants.
It's basically the same as this cartoon:
Think happy thoughts, kids.
Positive thoughts.
