The transition may be perilous and result in no winners.
Replace "The transition" with "CO2 mitigation" and your statement would make more sense.

In general, government intervention in people's lives should follow the same idea as expressed in many variant's of a doctor's oath to "first do no harm". The economic harm caused by CO2 mitigation is massive, and any benefits do not outweigh the costs.

By the way, I can already see the replies coming now -" Imp, first do no harm means do no harm to the environment". Well I see the environment, and Earth, as a tool to further mankind. Remember, humans first.
