Have you ever taken statistics? When 95% of the best climate minds on the earth say something is real, to bet against them is a fools bet.

My son in law says they know.

But even if it were only a 25% chance given how bad it could be, not taking precautions is silly (worse than silly).

If it were a concrete concept like an asteroid, people would worry, but AGW is too abstract for most people it seems.

Unless they understand probability.
