New study finds that climate change costs will hit Trump country hardest
The Guardian ^ | August 24, 2017 | by John Abraham

Humans are causing Earth’s climate to change. We know that. We’ve known it for decades. Okay so what? The follow-up questions should be directed to what the effects of warming will be.

The costs are not uniformly distributed. Some regions will suffer more and other regions will suffer less. In fact, some regions will actually benefit in a warming climate.

It is also clear that the natural biosystems won’t suffer the same. Some areas are more susceptible to climate change, others less so. Coastal areas and tropical areas are great examples.

Fortunately, a really important paper just came out in Science titled Estimating Economic Damage from Climate Change in the United States. Granted, this paper focused on the United States, but the analysis method and lessons can be applied elsewhere.

So what did they find? First, even in a single country like the United States, the losses will be very uneven. In general, the more southern states will suffer most.

“..eyep, Ted Danson was the major cheerleader
back then....couldn’t stand him then,don’t watch anything he’s associated with now”

Ted Danson was right. Think about it. He said unless we get rid of everything affecting the ozone layer we will freeze. So we did. Now we are heating up.

So how do we fix it? We burn more fossil fuel which will affect the ozone layer, in effect cooling the planet. In other words, gasoline is good.

In the following months [Abraham] carried out research, contacting scientists cited by [climate denier] Monckton, and in late May 2010 he posted online an 83-minute video rebutting Monckton’s statements. This attracted little attention at first, until it was highlighted by an article George Monbiot published in The Guardian.
Abraham’s presentation and the response from Monckton subsequently received world-wide attention. More recently, Abraham and a number of colleagues including Michael E. Mann [the notorious Penn State climate data manipulator] submitted a document to the US Congress which claimed to refute nine errors in Christopher Monckton’s May 6, 2010, testimony. From Wiki.
Never forget: The Guardians Trotskyite pedigree, its underlying hatred for the West, its neo-Marxist point of view.

There is no man made climate change, therefore there is no cost. Just a matter of time before Trump rectifies this BS.

Wait, so it will be less felt in the widely scattered blue areas only?

All major media forecast models are now in agreement that Al Gore will proclaim Harvey to be proof of climate change around 7 p.m. EDT Friday. Confidence in this solution remains very high, says Peter O’Donnell, the director of the National Observation of Articulate A—holes.

Monday, my wife and I travelled a bit to be in the path of the total eclipse. One of the more interesting phenomena (and no great surprise) was that as the sun was occluded, it actually got cooler (shock, shock). Gee, maybe the sun is what actually drives the climate trends. Now we just have to tack AlGore about that. OF course, since there are no solar credits, he won’t get as much cash out of the deal....

One faction of the left is obsessed with the idea that Trump voters and Republican voters vote against their own self interest.

This faction of the left is obsessed with the idea that we need to be re-educated as to what is in our own best self interest.

This article is an example of what we can expect from that leftist faction. We will see article after article that tries to convince us that personal freedom is not in our own best interest. They will try to convince us that we should not make decisions for ourselves. We should listen to the experts... their designated experts ... who have dedicated themselves to telling us what is best for us.

Fraudulent data is rampant amongst “climate change” so-called researchers, even in the U.K.

The idiots at the Guardian either didn’t get the memo or they willfully ignored it.

These people must lie awake in bed every night trying desperately to come up with some lie that will finally resonate with Trump voters.

But they are some thoroughly immersed in their own media bubble that they can’t even think outside of it. They imagine how a Trump voter must be thinking and they are so wildly off base each time that all they do is prove that they are living in a fantasy world.

The author couldn’t even get past the first sentence before squatting and pushing out the first lie.

Right on the mark!! The east and left coast enclaves live in their own little world.

"New study finds that climate change costs will hit Trump country hardest"

This science fiction story is a small shift away from the climate doomsday scenario.
