doing nothing will most likely cost more than doing something. acting like an ostrich is not the smart thing to do.

my vote is to do the right thing, that is doing something.
I prefer to wait on a massive volcanic eruption. I think Pinatubo lowered global avg temperature by about 3 degrees, if I remember right from a long time ago, reading about it.

Sounds like what we really need is trucks that emit ash. There's an offset right there.
