> we should crash the economy if it can slow down climate change

This really shouldn’t be the top comment on this thread without some sort of reference to cost/benefit analysis to back it up.

Otherwise this appears to be an overly extreme solution to give climate deniers fuel to not listen to more reasonable solutions.

It's not like anyone on this message board has a little 'crash the economy' button on their keyboard.

I’m mostly arguing that this feels like an extremist view, and in the realm of “let’s look for real solutions to the problem”, this doesn’t feel like it should be the most upvoted one in this thread.
