1. Is a warmer planet bad?
Yes. Examples: 1) The most severe drought that Syria has ever seen, providing the catalyst for the Arab Spring. 2) The bleaching of the Barrier Reef. 3) The loss of coastal cities and infrastructure.
2. Can government do something without destroying the economy
Destroying the economy? There's obviously a lot that we can do without obliterating all financial institutions and currencies in the world. I think the question you're trying to ask is:
Can we do something without impacting the economy?
To which the answer is no. However we have to ask ourselves, what strategy from this point will have the least impact on the economy? Losing coastal cities, and even entire nations (Kiribati) is surely going to impact the economy more than curbing emissions ahead of time.
