Discussion: New White House Report Highlights Economic Cost Of Inaction On Climate Change

Discussion for article #225652

Being the anti-science, anti-gay, anti-immigration, anti-women, anti-poor, anti-minority party hasn’t hurt us so far.

Besides, we don’t believe in physics. Gravity, climate change, evolution? All liberal plots to overthrow freedom.

The next argument against action (after “I’m not a scientist” folds up the tent) will be that the developing world isn’t going to curb their emissions so why should we? Why should we harm our “economy” while they grow theirs?

So yeah, let’s all choke to death together with a strong economy.

I think that line is dumb. It is a way to basically point out that you are not making a decision on anything but an uninformed opinion. Unless you go to a scientist. At which point you would need to take up the scientific consensus and not the opinions of a few nutjobs.

Yes exactly. I think Charlie Crist finally blew the doors off of that one.

This report is not directed at the deniers. In fact, it is just archiving the affects that are undeniable to the sane.
The deniers plan is to deny more and then some more, there is the denial report in full.

Obama is trying to hit them where he thinks they live and love, which is with the economic, financial damages and repercussions. But, they can’t even do that because it would be a mild form of recognition which would constitute not playing totally ignorant and that is their ace in the hole, shameless ignorance.

It is climate change action go time.
