@ waste gate - A large part of global warming involves increased weather extremes and volatility. It's putting the planet on speed rather than a sunbed.

I'm not sure what your second statement means.
To my initial response regarding doing nothing I may have been vague. What we need is an unbiased cost/benefit analysis. Much like your response to the nuclear power response as to the transmission loss due to out of state nuclear power.
An off the head example would be; the farming industry will have to reduce the emissions from their harvesting equipment and still be able to provide food stuffs for the native population and send emergency aid to 'starving' nations in Africa or the Indian sub-continent, while continuing to pay for the things of life that will be affected by the increased cost home side.
Whether you or I like it everything has a cost.
