the Republican party "acts as if climate change is not real"

Well, I certainly hope so.

some things I never hear anyone talk about, but are worth noting:

1. Climate has changed many times over the eons of earth’s history. There have been numerous ice ages in earth’s history. During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. How did all that ice melt, except for a period of warming and changing climate patterns then?

2. Even if we say there is climate change, we don’t know how much is due to man, vs. how much is due to natural climate cycles which we don’t fully understand in the first place.

3. And to the extent that natural cycles are happening, we can’t control those cycles.

4. Even if we say there is global warming, is that necessarily a negative thing?. For example, the midwest is a fertile productive agricultural region. Yet they also have severe winters there. That area could be more productive with some warming and a longer growing season. That could actually be a benefit of global warming, right?

5. Even if we say there are rising sea levels, these changes will happen over periods of many decades, which will give us all plenty of time to plan and get out of the way. New York, Boston, Miami, LA, New Orleans, any coastal city, will not flood away overnight. If indeed sea levels rise, we will adapt and get out of the way. Man is not going to go extinct if indeed sea levels are going to rise.
