Thanks Trump.

Still don’t care

[Callinectes]

If it’s inevitable, do we still have to spend trillions of dollars trying to stop it?

Trump again. Like he's God!

Earth has it's own all-natural recycling process.
Water evaporates from the earth's surface, rises and cools as it moves to higher elevations, condenses as rain or snow, and falls to the surface where it collects in lakes, oceans, soil, and in rocks underground. Icebergs move water vapor into the atmosphere through the process of evaporation just as they also move water in its solid state into a liquid state melting into the sea. God is good at this replenishing business...he's been at it for a long time. And, he's not paid by the government with funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs.

OP Link: "Also inevitable is the threat to low-lying coastal areas around the world that the sea-level rise will cause. It may take decades for that to happen, but it will happen. The more the darker sea-water is exposed, the faster the sunlight warms it, the faster the adjoining ice melts."

And when it does happen, where will the nay-sayers be? Dead? The old white guys who are afraid their personal monetary fortunes will be impacted if we take appropriate measures to try to reverse our impact on the climate, where will they be THEN? Dead in a few decades?

And how will their descendants feel about having inherited some money, but also having inherited a sick planet, mired in turmoil as billions of people are forced to migrate to higher ground? Do you think they will believe their money is a fair trade-off?

And what if it was also learned that their money was never at risk?

That we could easily take steps to deal with climate change while keeping the economy strong at the same time?

That there will always be good investments, whether it is in oil or in new energy technology?

What a waste it is to listen to greedy old fools who are blindly obsessed with money.

They have been recycling their predictions at least. This same prediction has failed many times before. Can anyone cite a climate prediction that has come to pass? Ice free polar region? West side highway under sea level? 500 million climate refugees? Please cite even one!

Your rhetoric is for children. Save it for them and come back when you can use better phrases than "sick planet"

Only once. A few thousand years ago. Forty days and forty nights of making sure the entire earth was covered with water. God doesn't tease out a few drips and drabs and inches over decades. When he wants it done, he gets it done in short order.

Vanishing glaciers. More and stronger wildfires. Oops there's two.

Patience grasshopper. More fires are coming.

Well, you know, a lot of young people are listening. That's why they are protesting in the streets.

When the old people who caused this are dead and gone they are the ones who are going to have to try to live in a deteriorating environment and deal with the consequences.

Here is a question

If coastal regions are going to be under water in 12 years then why are people still moving there? Why are banks still loaning money for people to build there?

According to the greatest minds in the democrat party, we only have 12 years left, not “decades”. I say we party like it’s 1999

And when it does happen, where will the nay-sayers be? Dead? The old white guys who are afraid their personal monetary fortunes will be impacted if we take appropriate measures to try to reverse our impact on the climate, where will they be THEN? Dead in a few decades?

Well, yeah...they’ll be dead

And how will their descendants feel about having inherited some money, but also having inherited a sick planet, mired in turmoil as billions of people are forced to migrate to higher ground? Do you think they will believe their money is a fair trade-off?

Just how many “descendants” are these people gonna have in 12 years?

And what if it was also learned that their money was never at risk?

If this BS is inevitable, then their money most certainly would be at risk. It would disappear into the maw of the government and there would be no partying like it was 1999

That we could easily take steps to deal with climate change while keeping the economy strong at the same time?

Go ahead and list the cheap, easy things we can do to reverse something on a planetary scale that a bunch of egg heads say is inevitable

That there will always be good investments, whether it is in oil or in new energy technology?

What part of “inevitable” are you having problems with? We’re talking dead planet here!

What a waste it is to listen to stupid young fools who are blindly obsessed with jousting at windmills.

FTFY

stop using fear to buttress austerity and depopulation.
