Precautionary principle (wise) goes with uncertainty. I think we are certain (no doubt) human action on climate is destructive. Uncertainty remains on PRECISE predictions, not on findings with OBVIOUS global consequences.pic.twitter.com/Qr7flnhVWv

Something like this. A seemingly simple solution with unknown extraneous effects on a dynamic system. They also often fail to see the lack of linearity so may take drastic measures to dampen something that will already dampen, etc.
