Pascal's Wager is famous in christian circles. It comes down to this simple table:

	god exists	god does not exist
you believe	heaven	nothing
you do not believe	hell	nothing

Essentially it is saying

If you believe in god, the best possible outcome is heaven. The worst is nothing happens.
If you don't believe, the best outcome is nothing, and the worst outcome is hell.

The christian perspective is the choice is clear -- you must choose to believe since it has the best possible outcomes. At the very worst, at least nothing happens, rather than eternal damnation.

I want to apply this same logic to another area that christians are... less consistent about:

	climate change exists	climate change does not exist
we do something	humanity is saved	nothing changes
we do nothing	humanity dies	nothing changes

If we do something, the best outcome is we save humanity, and the worst is nothing at all changes.
If we do nothing, the best outcome is nothing changes, and the worst is that all of humanity dies.

It seems to me that the choice here is clear.
