>well then once the cost of letting climate change continues outweighs the cost of doing something about it it’ll get fixed.

The thing is that we are beyond this point even right now.
People are just to dumb and greedy and climate change is to slow to warrant any drastic measures. People are generally to retarded to think about any timescale that is bigger than 5 years - and much less inclined to do anything that will be a problem in several decades

>it will get really bad in 2050?
>well think about jobs and economy NOW! Also: if we do something that will only give China an advantage, because they surely won't do shit.

when it is 2050 the people will have grown accustomed to the 3 degrees warmer climate and to seeing the vegetation dying everywhere

>it will get really bad in 2100?
>would you please think about jobs and economy NOW! We are still doing fine (kinda). No reason to change everything just because in 50 years MAYBE it will get even worse.

when it is 2100, another generation that grew up under the conditions of 2050 and beyond will rationalize not doing anything ...

>it will get really bad in 2150?
>so what? we are already living in bunkers because we can't go outside. It's fine. If it gets REALLY bad we could (probably) reverse it.
