Prudence requires that we avoid the FALSE NEGATIVE of failing to mitigate a true problem, esp when lives are at stake. So even if the science isn't quite in on this (& studies reached 95% confidence re CC in 1995, & the sci has greatly strengthened since), we need to do the moral & prudent thing & mitigate....which also solves many other problems and saves money & helps the economy. It seems immoral to dissuade people from mitigating CC, even if one has personal doubts about it.
