We're fairly certain how much CO2 we're putting into the atmosphere.
If our knowledge of climate science is limited, other than knowing there have been significant and unpredictable changes in the past, is it a good idea to continue adding CO2 at the current rate if we have absolutely no idea what the effects will be?
Would it be better to limit emissions as much as possible until we know what the outcome will be (the precautionary principle)?
