What makes you think clean-up will be cheaper if we allow the damage

What evidence is there that any damage is occurring?

Glacier melts for one - but there is a large body of work showing
damage. But scientists get fame and fortune by proving the
establishment wrong. Get the evidence that they are all wrong (even
GWB has accepted that they are not wrong) - that fame and fortune will
be yours.

I think a better analogy is fixing the crack in the dam. We can wait
to make sure that the leak will, in fact break the dam, we can wait
until we have better dam repairing equipment, or we can start
repairing it now.

An even better analogy is spending a boatload of money to fix a crack in the
dam, when we're not even sure there is a crack in the first place. There is
*no* evidence that human activity is causing the planet to get warmer.

There may be *no* evidence that that dam crack was created by people.
So if we didn't create it, it's not our problem, right?

But what would you accept as evidence?
