And in reality?
"Precautionary principles are the foundations for policy when it has to deal with
weakly understood causes of potential catastrophic or irreversible events, and where protective decisions require certain and
costly policy interventions that may not solve the problem that they are designed to correct."
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/precautionary-...Climate models - They don't predict accurately. They don't do clouds well. They don't do sea surface temperature well.
They are mere computer games .
And what are these things that cost a lot of money and don't do things well? Renewables, apart frmo Nuclear for a start. They are costly. But don't even mention the subsidies for them.
Carbon Capture and Storage? There are no large scale methods in place - nor planned.
Everyone knows Google. They were going to go completely renewable. The result?
"According to an interview with the engineers, published in IEEE;
At the start of RE<C, we had shared the attitude of many stalwart environmentalists: We felt that with steady improvements to todays renewable energy technologies, our society could stave off catastrophic climate change. We now know that to be a false hope
Renewable energy technologies simply wont work; we need a fundamentally different approach.

Although I love one caption -
"Yet because CO 2 lingers in the atmosphere for more than a century, reducing emissions means only that less gas is being added to the existing problem. Research by James Hansen shows that reducing global CO 2 levels requires both a drastic cut in emissions and some way of pulling CO 2 from the atmosphere and storing it. "
James Hansen lied. The turnover time for CO2 is less than 10years, according to most scientific studies.
