I would like zero nota nil discussion of assumption 1.
I would like discussion of assumptions 2 thru 4.
The questions to be debated are:
At what point or on what evidence will policy action be necessitated to ameliorate effects of climate change?
What effect will climate change have on western institutions ie. global economy and interdependence. insurance, capitalism, military, urban life, rural life, land ownership, and democracy.
What technological fields and disciplines need to be given priority research and development budget to contend with the social disruptions?
What do we as parents do now for our children?
