And anyway, if the scientific consensus can change that fast (if is has, I'm in no way an expert and have to take your word for it), can't it change the other way around too? That five years from now they go "oops, we made a mistake, the rise of the sea level will be TEN metres instead" (just made-up number by me)? Isn't it better to play it safe and try to stop this, even if there's a small chance it won't happen? If nothing happens, well, good. Maybe we lost some (okay, a lot of) money. But if something happens and we didn't do anything about it, we stand to loose a lot more than just money. What good are money if we don't have a living planet?</p></blockquote><p></p>
