I've seen a deconstruction of his logic somewhere - turns out he's not exactly being logical...
Anyway, the worst that could happen if we intervene is that we have a negative effect and make people poorer and less able to survive the changes... worst cases are not a cause for action (or inaction) a good assessment of the facts and probabilities are.
Its not good enough to just act, we must act in a way which will help and be worth the expenditure.
The IPCC estimates of the costs of global warming do not merit some of the schemes being proposed, they do however merit increased trade and globalisation and more research into clean technology. Kyoto however is massive expense for little gain, its just a placebo to make governments look like they're doing something.
Unfortunately, manay of the deep greens are ideoloically opposed to new technology and economic growth, despite the fact that they will decrease human suffering and help the environment.
