I didn't say it very well.

I just think that the global environment is sensitive to changing conditions and not stable in any particular configuration.

And Man has adapted to the current environment over millions and millions of years.

Given those two realities, I think it would behoove Man to avoid forcing any more climate change than necessary. Or taking any chance on it. Any chance at all. There's no assurance we could adapt rapidly enough, and even less assurance there is an inertia which will keep it tolerable for us.

If Liberals are wrong, and we cut emissions, not much harm is done. If Conservatives are wrong, it's the end of life as we know it.
