#1 "For most of the population it would mean fairly modest changes to how they live"

Note how this is worded - the "scientist" doesn't include himself in the group.

#2 For a recession to even theoretically avert climate change it would have to be a global recession; I'm not sure China and India would be willing participants (though because the current plans would not require them to participate, those plans could not even theoretically avert climate change.)
In other words, it's not about the climate, it's about economic redistribution!

#3 It's always been about "Economic redistribution" in plain speak, MONEY.

#4 The English forget the (Relatively) Tiny Island they live on, they'd need to entirely depopulate their Island to make any tiny almost unmeasurable change, By "Depopulate" I do NOT mesn move, but they'd need to execute all persons animals and other living, breathing lifeforms, leaving only plsnts.

Syupid dumbass morons, no knowledge of science at all.
