On the subject of being better to our environment to our benefit, your logic is slightly flawed. Just because the cost to produce electricity from a less polluting mechanism is higher doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be trying to reduce human impact by reducing chemical emissions.

We’ve cut back substantially on pollutants since the industrial revolution began. Why? Because the pollutants were found to be bad for human health and living organisms, such as mercury and lead. What did we do to reduce those emissions? We installed expensive filtration systems which increased the cost of electricity.

We know that burning of fossil fuels artificially (human made not a natural earth process) exhaust CO2 into the atmosphere. So why shouldn’t we try to minimize doing that whether we can prove at the moment it is contributing to global climate.

Unfortunately, the timeline for earth processes are so long that man can’t accurately calculate the impact due to all the complicated factors that make up the earth natural processes.

So since the earth process timeline is so long and can’t be accurately modeled and the short amount (decades/century) of empirical data hasn’t matched some models, means we should reduce human emissions?

I’m an advocate of being a human who tries to minimize over human impact to our environment by reducing overall dumping of human made garbage or emissions to the environment. Solar is one technology that when paired with a good storage system (still being developed) will ultimately make for a cleaner environment by reducing all man made emissions to the environment which includes CO2.
