It literally doesn’t matter. The financial cost is of no importance to sensible people - we know that the flooding of coastal cities, being unable to grow food, millions of climate refugees, etc. outweighs any short-term cost of slowing the climate crisis. On the other hand, the financial cost is the only thing of import to fossil fuel companies, because they are capitalists in a capitalist system - short-term profit is their priority every time.
The denier line has moved on from “it’s not human caused” to “it’s too late/expensive to do anything about it anyway”, aiming for pessimism and doomerism to let them continue business as usual.
Having things like this we can counter with helps people argue and motivate to continue the fight.
