Get you head out of your ass. It's gonna cost us hundreds of billions of dollars to get there. Those who oppose climate change want to keep their money in their pocket.
While I'm 100% for investing money into renewable energy, recycling technology and other environmentally-friendly measures, not only on the state level but also in terms of an international framework/rules, I can't say I can get behind the "just in case" argument. First of all I don't think you can persuade people who "don't believe" in climate change anyway (which, yes, is a matter of facts not beliefs, but people will claim they don't believe it anyway), second of all someone could flip it and say "well why don't you believe in God/Allah/[insert any deity or deities] just in case? What if they're real and you'll burn in hell" and I just don't think that's a good basis for an argument tbh.
Sure let's heavily tax every first world nation and send every nation below that into the stone age. Falls in line with saving the world by removing the problem at it's source.
