Basically, because despite the huge increases they've had in research and computing power, climate scientists are still just as unable to predict climate sensitivity to Co2 as they were 30 years ago. Very telling....We're not as clever as we think we are. |
Are we clever enough to make another habitable planet on short notice in case this one goes to crap?
That's just my POV on this, if you only have one pair of pants, you probably don't want to shit your pants ... or get ketchup all over them or whatever. If that's just common sense, why is to so different for a planet? Until we can colonize/terraform other planets we probably should err on the side of caution.
