Pick something that will likely improve the situation so one doesn't occur again. It doesn't need to be a one-for-one trade-off.

We're at the point now where we don't need to argue about how to 'solve' climate change, we simply need to do something to stay alive.

But that's what the deniers want to do: they want to argue with us with the full knowledge that it can never be 'proved' what causes climate change.
