The Dilbert cartoon contains no scientific facts, so it is neither right or wrong.
It is funny though, because we all know that economic modeling is junk.
Since economic modeling is junk, we would be foolish to spend vast amounts of money to defray the unknown economic costs of increasing global temperature.
It will certainly be way cheaper to simply move affected people to more habitable areas, to treat their disease and hunger, and to rebuild than to spend our way towards carbon neutrality.
Heck, the very thought of spending your way into environmental protection is silly. It's economic wealth that impacts the environment more than anything. Want to conserve energy? Be too poor to afford gasoline and electricity.
