You think preventing climate change is more expensive than not preventing climate change?

I don't think that and I didn't say or imply that. No one seems to be able to comprehend the "what if it's all a hoax" in the comic in question. In such a case, there is no climate change, and thus no associated costs.

the most effective first step for individuals who want to prevent climate change is: Reduce. And that costs nothing at all.

Except it does. When you don't buy something, someone is not selling something. And there is likely something that you want to sell also, which others may not buy. That sort of thing applied at the level it would take to stop climate change would stop our entire economy dead in it's tracks.

So you’re saying our economy is a pyramid scheme based on a flawed system?

Huh? That doesn't remotely resemble anything I said.

It’s basically exactly what you said.

Let’s depopulate the planet and rebuild the economy to healthy and sustainable levels!

I like your thinking.
