Money just changes hands. It's man made & arbitrary. When it comes to the crunch, it becomes worthless anyway. My future descendants might have a pile of it but nothing to buy for it. The planet's ability to sustain human life, on the other hand, can actually be physically lost or severely compromised. Not one second would I debate which of the two I would risk losing, regardless of the odds.
