if you think replacing oil/coal with renewable energy is expensive, wait until you see how much it is going to cost to replace all the infrastructure that is failing. wait until you see what it costs to build a sea wall EVERYWHERE to try and hold back the rising seas. wait until you see what it costs to install air conditioning in places that enver needed it before... etc etc... we cannot afford, in any way, to just pretend this isn't happening.
