That a problem, KaiYeves, as high motives can be used to justify some aweful actions.
If you ever watched "The Ascent of Man", the last scenes were of the late Dr Jacob Bronowski digging into the dirt of Auchitz, saying that this is where some of his realtives are, and that human arrogance and certitude put them there. It is not an academic argument.
No regret measures are fine, damaging economic growth is not, because this is how we pay for many environmental measure and also how we fund innovation to solve the problems of tomorrow.
