That's the big question, whether we are willing to accept some negative
impacts on certain areas of the economy in the long term interest of the
planet. The US is not known for doing particularly well in that regard.
The long term interests of our corporations seldom extends beyond the
next business quarter.

There is a good chance we could at least do no more harm.

Of course the problem is by the time we figure it out it could be too
late to do anything about it. We may have already reached the point of
no return but we won't realize it for several more decades. That's why
even the hardest skeptics are beginning to concede that we must err on
the side of caution. The stakes are just too high to do otherwise.
