Scientists have been warning
about increases in temperatures
due to climate change
and the impacts
that will have
on power grids
for years.
Some leaders
don’t ‘believe’ in climate change.
They claim to be 100% certain
it doesn’t exist.
So those leaders didn’t upgrade or modify
their power grids.
The grids, as predicted,
are going down
and people are dying.
THAT is the cost
of 100% certainty
– there’s a lack of preparation
if any other scenario happens.
If the leaders had been
90% certain
climate change
didn’t exist, for example,
they might have mitigated
the risk of the 10% scenario
happening
and worked on the power grids.
There is a cost
to complete certainty
or,
in this case,
complete denial.
If you’re 100% certain
about something,
consider the costs
of being wrong.
