If it does get hotter, it will prove that the hystericals
were right, and we should have done something. If it does not, it will
prove that the hystericals were right and we did something good.

No, that only works if we =did= do something good. Or at least
something expensive (that is, something that business would not do on
their own, like install scrubbers in their smokestacks, or pre-treat
waste before dumping it in the river, or improve gas milage).

And no, before some quick-ass jumps at the chance, I am not suggesting
that "something expensive" is a good substitute for "something good".
