I personally think we have more immediate issues to be very concerned about today. Issues that are hurting many right now.
The massive Banking/Corporate financial crisis just a few years ago was (and continues to be) bailed out by astronomical and somewhat uncontrolled government stimulus spending - your money, and by smoke and mirrors it seemed to work but without solving the cause. Next it seems may well be a massive Country/Government financial crisis and where will that bail out come from?
Sure, pour all the money you can afford into saving the planet, oceans - it's your money. If man made CO2 indeed turns out to be the culprit, I would bet it will be a smoke and mirrors solution anyway.
But it will come out of your pocket regardless, and right now an increasing number of people even reading this are already struggling. Keeping a small businesses afloat, paying the mortgage, straining under extortionate increased costs to the basics of living, electricity, water, food, shelter, fuel.
I think Alex hit the nail on the head with his rabbit analogy.
We all delighted in our home values spiraling making us pseudo rich and now we are concerned on how the heck our kids and grand kids will ever own a home let alone pay for it.
So what's my solution you ask - dunno, we all want our cake and to eat it as well.
