So you're saying that you must be presented something that you think rises to the standard of absolute proof, and you must understand it, before you would support any action to mitigate a possible global disaster? You never use tools such as probabilities and risk management in your personal life or business? You don't trust the expertise of others in fields which you are not trained? You don't listen to your doctors, you insist on reading an MRI yourself and deciding the best treatment even though you have no training to do so?

Would you tell your teenage kid, "hey don't worry about wearing your seatbelt in the car, because I can't prove with zero margin of error that you will for certain die if you don't use it"?

Does this not illustrate how utterly silly your approach is?
