I don't have a position because the variables are so infinitely complex that only myopic conclusions can be drawn.

1. Warming has been underway for 20,000 years and humanity has prospered mightily from it.
2. Warming continues and human flourishing continues.
3. Some level of warming becomes a net negative to humanity, and that level has yet to be established.
4. It's unclear if human effort can meaningfully slow or stop the rising outdoor temperature. We talk in terms of delaying warming. For instance, banning all fossil fuel vehicles in the US immediately would delay warming by x number of months. Is that trade-off worth it?
