Mnuchin Attacks Greta Thunberg, Says She Needs To Study Economics | Talking Points Memo

I liked that comment. But now I cannot know you. The collateral incoming may be too dangerous.

The question I’ve had for years, with respect to all these guys.

Is it really better to be the guy who owns everything (when ‘everything’ will be very little) in a toxic, post-apocalyptic wasteland than to do well in a healthy, vibrant, diverse landscape?

Beyond shortsighted.

The attitude taken by Mnuchin is unfortunately typical of the over-privileged who think economic considerations somehow belong in the same conversation as scientific discussions. It’s all just so much Chamber of Commerce driven b.s.

There is nothing in the field of economics that would lead one to the conclusion that we have to burn fossil fuels. It’s simply a choice that has been made, largely because burning fossil fuels is so easy to do. But the rebuttal to “burning fossil fuels is damaging the environment” is not “but it’s profitable!”

Exactly.

The long game says everyone will suffer. And if they think bottling themselves up in some nirvana of a habitat is the goal, well…

I agree, they are short sighted. I am willing to bet they think they can get in, get what they want and dash away before the good guys show up again. So it is cynical as hell.

the secretary claimed the administration’s environmental policies “are misunderstood” and that President Donald Trump “supports a clean environment.”

How does someone even lie about this and keep a straight face? It’s not just CO2, which at least appears clean at first and doesn’t kill you directly. They’re rolling back every rule they can get their hands on to allow more toxic, obvious pollution as well.

“After she goes to college and studies economics in college, she can come back and explain that to us,” he added.

Maybe you need to go back to college and study science!

Better yet he should study Psychology to understand that he was hired by a man with serious mental problems.

If he understood science he might understand the economic impacts of climate change.

Wow, that young woman is smart. Meanwhile, that President is as dumb as dumb can be. But what’s even worse, he’s arrogant, narcissistic and malevolent, as well. We’re screwed.
