It's like planning for retirement without knowing for sure that I'll live until 65. There are no guarantees, but your actions should be based on the best information that you have available.
That's a good analogy, I'm not suggesting there's no room for improvement in what we do. Its the panic and fear mentality some are propagating by saying there's no question that climate change will manifest itself as a global catastrophe and its all our fault that I question.

Planning for retirement by selling everything off, building a bunker in the wilderness, and stocking it with gats and food because of economic uncertainty?
