Stupendously?
Stupendously was in the title? Holy Moses! It must be magnificently expensive as well.
Ever notice the websites that post this kind of garbage all got rid of their comments sections?
It's not a threat, it is just reality. Don't like it, talk to the Sun.
That fact has been somewhat obscured in regular discourse, in favor of a false dichotomy portraying climate policy as an upper-middle-class noblesse oblige idea for anxious birders and other environmentalist types, and hardheaded economists who think building up yet more wealth is more important.
Again, it's not a threat, and using elaborately worded 'labels' doesn't make it a fact.
In reality, one obvious way that threat to humanity is going to be expressed is through economic damage. In other words, unchecked climate change is going to be terrifically expensive.
Unchecked? No amount of money will stop the planet and the Sun from doing whatever they please. Even if we never spent another penny on climate 'change', it will still change.
It drives home the fact that dawdling on climate policy, as Democrats did when they had majorities in 2009-10 — or denying it's even necessary, as virtually every person of consequence in the Republican Party does — is not going to be some profitable venture.
There you go with that 'fact' thing again and the use of labels to 'categorize' people.
Poor countries will be hit worse, but American cities will be wrecked, much critical infrastructure will be destroyed, and many insurance companies and programs will be bankrupted. It will require endless expensive bailouts and reconstruction packages simply to stay ahead of the damage.
TRUE. That is why we need to stop ANTIFA, BLM, and the CLINTON FOUNDATION.
Conversely, the faster we move on climate policy, the cheaper it will be. The International Energy Agency has roughly estimated that every year of delay adds $500 billion to the world total of necessary investment to head off climate change. (A stitch in time saves nine, as the saying goes.)
....and a SCAM always depends on a lot of gullible people investing a lot of money AT THE START.
On the most important issue facing humanity, the United States is becoming dangerously close to a rogue state.
You haven't gotten anything else right, so I'll just LABEL this as another stupid claim.
Let us hope we can soon rejoin the world community and start acting like sensible, moral adults again.
Sensible, moral adults... like The Clintons, The Podesta Brothers, Most every politician, all of the Hollywood 'crowd', and all the illegal immigrants who are the unwanted even by their own Third World toilet countries ?
checked climate change will be more expensive, but hey, no one on the left asks that question.
my january electric bill... $620 bucks... normally 400
brrrrrr
It is time to ignore or ridicule these climate-change idiots.
How is climate change, if it were actually not a scam for more money, costly???
It seems we all would save money since food could be grown in more regions and there would be less need for heating.
It’s going to cost a lot of individuals and organizations their reputation. Gore won’t care. It could be a disaster for others. They will be the prime example of “bad science” for generations.
If climate change
Then total world wide government control of all human activity
Simple logic.
Fortunately:
Climate Change = False
Check,please!
No. The Greatest threat to humanity is socialist liars trying to use propaganda to stampeded stupid people into giving them power.
Unchecked climate change is going to be stupendously expensive
Only slightly less expensive than CHECKED climate change.
For what its worth I read somewhere that the cost of preventing GW would be about 100 X the cost of letting it happen and adapting to it. People dont realize that preventing GW would require eliminating nearly all of the coal fired electricity generating plants and gasoline powered vehicles. That basically sends us back to the 1800’s in standard of living. The thought of doing this based on the recommendation of environmental alarmists who have been right approximately 0% of the time is too stupid to even contemplate.
I love it when the left uses lofty prose when speaking of monumentally stupid ideas. Grammar is no substitute for facts, ladies.
8 years of Obozo and now they are blaming Trump.
These people make me want to vomit.
The fakery is what’s been so expensive over the years. I can’t imagine how many billions of dollars were stolen from The American people over this lie.
