Suppose one were so incapable of critical thought that you accepted every worrisome ecological event as the direct result of fossil fuels. Do you really think the Democrats, who couldn’t even manage a cash for clunkers program, would have any prayer of counteracting the behavior of everyone in the world?

23 Apr: National Geographic: A warming Arctic could cost the world trillions of dollars
By Stephen Leahy
These climate-change-driven feedbacks in the Arctic are accelerating warming even faster and may add nearly $70 trillion to the overall costs of climate change—even if the world meets the Paris Agreement climate targets, a new study says...

However, if efforts can be made to keep climate change limited to 1.5 degrees Celcius, the extra cost of Arctic warming drops to $25 trillion, new research published in Nature Communications reports. A trillion is a thousand billion. For comparison, the global GDP in 2016 was around US$76 trillion...

The $25 to $70 trillion cost of Arctic warming adds four to six percent to the total cost of climate change—which is estimated to reach $1,390 trillion by the year 2300 if emissions cuts are not better than the Paris Agreement. However, the costs of the current business-as-usual path could be more than $2,000 trillion...
