what's the worst that can happen if we follow their predictions and take the appropriate steps to counteract global warming?

We can destroy our economies and no longer be able to afford transportation much less Roomba's.

Any "major moolah" is quite likely to come out of your pocket and mine, not Joe CEO's nor John Senator's.

The argument does not boil down to Pascal's wager; it's not that simple even if you want it to be.

I'm all in favor of doing things to cut our emissions, but I don't think that the scale of change that they claim is necessary is going to happen until someone can get China, India, and the third world developing nations to sign on. So the US and europe can spend all its money trying to reduce emissions, all the while C/I/3 are all growing emissions faster than we can cut. A Recipe For Global Economic Disaster.

BTW the only real alternative to meet projected energy needs and make significant cuts in emissions is nuclear....are you ok with that?
