There is a third possibility: climate change is a thing and it’s NOT Man made. This is the true worst case senario. We both hurt the global economy (especially of developing world) in a futile attempt to stop it while still having to deal with the effects.
To be clear, I do believe in anthropomorphic climate change, but in a vacuum the situation is not as “sensible” as you say.
it would change the methods we have to use. cutting carbon emissions wouldn't do anything substantial if it's not man made. in that case I think we'd need to use geoengineering to avoid it.
