Dave's statement about "costs" is just plain stupid... can
you breathe & drink money?

On the contrary, thinking in black and white terms like "pollution is
evil"
and ignoring the costs of combating the evil is simplistic. If the costs
of
reducing greenhouse gases by 50% would consume 10% of your income, would
you
think that a worthwhile expenditure? What if it were 25%? 50%? 75%? Same
answer in each case?

We can have different views as to what the costs would be and where the
balance should be struck. But only a religious zealot of the green variety
would claim the balancing of costs and benefits is irrelevant.
