The problem is that only time will tell who is right and who is wrong. By then, most of you will be long gone and the rest of us will be dealing with the fallout, if any. It is an interesting debate. I certainly don't agree that it is unsettled science.

Of course, it could be that climate change isn't being embraced because many of our former and present leaders and their source of their fortune are tied up in the very businesses that contribute to the change in our climate. I mean, politicians never protect their personal interests, do they? Go Coal!! Or maybe the rich people who own mansions along the waterways that absolutely do not want those ugly turbines ruining their view. While other countries embrace alternative energy, the USA tries to block it at every turn. I wonder why that is? It couldn't possibly be that politicians and political influencers have billions of dollars invested in fossil fuel?

There is no way to tell until a few generations have passed which way the wind blows. I just find it disheartening that my children or grandchildren could be left with a huge environmental problem that, if properly managed, would not have progressed and deteriorated quick so rapidly. We can take it with a grain of salt but at the very least start to make some small but significant changes in the way we live. Where is the harm in that?
