Huh? Climate change will cost us more and more - it already costs us BILLIONS. And fossil fuel pollution costs us billions in health and early deaths. Our military spending to protect oil is costing us billions, if not trillions.
We have to stop putting ANY carbon from fossil fuels into the air if we want to have a chance of our society surviving. We have put so much carbon into the air so quickly, that it will take at LEAST 50 years for the warming to stop.
IF we have already triggered enough feedback warming - melting ice caps, melting tundra, increased water vapor, methane and nitrous oxide, warming oceans - then the only way we can keep our society is the put as much of the carbon into the soil as we can.
What part of the fact that renewable energy has provided more NEW jobs than fossil fuels don't you understand? If we avoid runaway warming - then dropping fossil fuels will pay for itself.
