<George W. Bush's "Wager"> climate change 'wager' is a question I've asked many a conservative. it goes like this:
question) what if there is a 10% chance that climate change is significantly caused by human activity, would you be willing to alter your behavior?

answer) no! global warming is leftist crap,blah blah blah (longshort can fill in the blanks)

my point in asking the question is to demonstrate there are times one must act without 100% certainty because of possiblity of catastrophic outcomes. unfortunately, the status quo is very hard to move.
