You are clearly incapable of recognizing that any science has a degree uncertainty. We know that climate change / pollution will have an overall detrimental impact, but the extent of the impact is still uncertain. My example is not semantics, its a simple example how there is at least a 0.5 degree level of uncertainty which is MASSIVE from an absolute perspective. 

We cannot say with 100% certainty what the impact of pollution will have, we only know it will be bad. Your initial statement runs contrary to that ideal, which is objectively incorrect. 

To claim that regulation doesnt have an impact on consumer pricing, is laughable. 

People living paycheck to paycheck would rather see a 15% decrease in their energy bill this month, than an overall decrease in cost to society as a whole that takes 20 years. 

Examples for you since apparently you need it spelled out for you

Power plants complying with the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) had to install expensive scrubbers, raising electricity rates.

The EPA’s stricter nutrient regulations on phosphorus and nitrogen require farmers to reduce runoff, increasing fertilizer and food prices

So while the eventually return on investment may be beneficial to society at large in time, for the individual household, they need the savings TODAY. To say otherwise would just be your privilege speaking.
