When any policy is considered in a rational way, whether to proceed or not depends on the cost and the benefits. The only exception is when our very existence is threatened, such as in a war. That is why it was so important to get as many local councils to sign up to a "climate emergency", as this provided the very reason to avoid asking about the cost. Only in this case it is becoming ever harder to maintain the immediacy and severity of the threat. Hence the need for the constant announcements of some sort of "unprecedented" weather event, backed up by a fully compliant Met Office.
