The advantage of recognising a reversed sign for the solar effect high up in the atmosphere is that it enables a scenario whereby the bottom up effects of ocean cycles and the top down effects of solar variability can be seen to be engaged in a complex ever changing dance with the primary climate response being changes in the tropospheric air circulation systems to give us the observed natural climate variability via cyclical latitudinal shifts in all the air circulation systems and notably the jet streams.

The Precautionary Principle as commonly applied to climate change says that even if you're not fully convinced that it will definitely happen, if you accept that it might happen, the costs are so high (e.g. Ted Turner's cannibal scenario) that it's still the only rational choice to act to prevent it.

While DECC predict that climate change and energy policies will cause gas prices to go up by 18 % and electricity prices by 33 % by 2020, they estimate (as of July 2010) that because of reductions in energy use «compared to the counterfactual scenario in which climate change and energy policies do not have an impact on energy bills, on average, domestic energy bills will be 1 % higher in 2020.»

Over the next 80 + years these could result in a reduction of atmospheric CO2 by year 2100 of 60 to 80 ppmv, out of an anticipated «business as usual» level of 640 ppmv to a «worst case» high - coal, high - forcing high - end climate change scenario of 750 ppmv (IPCC RCP 8.5).
