Even if it *doesn't* happen, we will *still* have improved the planet by cutting down on pollution and avoiding exhausting non-renewable resources by creating renewable energy sources.

And I was approaching it from the governments of the worlds point of view that will have to spend the billions of pounds investing in renewable energy.
You don't get it do you, the fact that the almighty dollar dictates what will happen. If renewable energy doesn't present a cost benefit ROI over a short period of time - it wont happen.

*THAT* is something worth doing in any case.

not if there isn't any profit in it, it isn't. There are not many countries or global companies that do things because they "are worth doing"

But if it's a choice between doing nothing with the possibility of watching millions being displaced by rising sea levels and the chance of a new mini-ice age being caused by melting Arctic ice "switching off" the Gulf Stream or, on the other hand, making an *effort* to stop treating the planet as some huge rubbish dump, I know which I would choose.
