The world's most prestigious doctors are in agreement that there is a problem, the international community is in agreement, so are business leaders - ignoring those with a direct financial interest in the status quo. They believe that we need to limit climate forcing gasses as much as possible, with a 2.0C warming limit by 2100 to mitigate a very likely to be extremely expensive and disruptive problem. This is also about risk mitigation. I agree with them, so I would swallow that pill. Do I want to swallow that pill? No. Just as the person diagnosed with HIV will have a very difficult set of decisions in front of them, ignoring the illness and spreading it, because they refuse to listen to the doctor, is criminal. But that's the cards we are dealt. It is simply how things are, I will still have a rich full life, so will the next generation, even if some of the toys and choices that people feel entitled to are no longer available.
