Can you name anything that doesn't have two people with opposite opinions on either side of it?

e.g. minimum wage to be higher/lower, to have more/less nuclear weapons, higher/lower taxes

edit: I just looked up Lomberg's opinion, and it turns out his response to Paris is almost exactly the opposite of Hansen's. Hansen wants to increase the price of carbon, Lomberg says "Instead of trying to make fossil fuels so expensive that no one wants them – which will never work – we should make green energy so cheap everybody will shift to it."

Hansen wants to increase the price of carbon across the board. One of the possible main issues is that a country like China is still not classified as a developed country and isn't bound to Article 9, a significant component of the Paris agreements.
