CO,
Apparently you cannot deny the facts around an human-caused rapid global warming.
>!YAWN!<

Been there, done that. Just because I pointed out your self-contradiction doesn't mean I'm a "climate change denier."

I'm just here to point out that the developed world has less of an incentive to "solve climate change." We can spend a small (but not insignificant) percentage of our GDP adapting to said changing climate.

But it truly is the developing world that will be most impacted by climate change. They don't have the resources to adapt. They'll have to suffer the old-fashioned way, i.e. through Darwinism.

In that sense, "solving climate change" is the ultimate exercise in altruism. We in the developed world will pay for solutions that will have an outsized benefit on the developing world.

You could say it's a moral obligation.

But you can't argue in terms of an "amoral cost analysis." That's pretzel logic. You don't need that.
