So make a huge mess serving contemporary economics, damn the externalities, risk future of the species to serve some poor people now?

Sounds worse than sociopathy.

High minded platitudes not physical evidence is the preference?

May as well go back to religion.

Except all the physical evidence for climate change and none for God

Will go with my current living experience, steeped in modern physics and math, over a long dead philosopher who had never encountered a light bulb

The past was wrong as much as right, and generally less civil than now. I don’t really see the necessity in relying on it.

As explained in the video, the problem with climate change is there are multiple existential risks to the globe.

Nobody knows whether an astroid, nuclear war, or a super volcano eruption poses as much, if not more of an existential risk than climate change.
