Climate change is an existential threat and the only way we can stop it is through trillions of dollars of government spending. I don’t know why you people don’t trust that science.

I've already stated I do not believe that humans are the cause of the warming trend we're seeing. I do not believe the warming trend is causing more natural disasters, either.

Nor do I believe that rising CO2 is a problem. I have posted these verifiable facts before: The Earth's atmosphere is made up of a measly 0.04% CO2... and if it goes much lower, plants will start to die. These are verifiable FACTS that you can look up, easily.

So, you're going to ignore over 1900 actual scientists, including many climate scientists, and just roll with NASA... because it fits your world view. Got it.

As far as electric cars go, I don't care. I will not own one because it doesn't fit my needs.

I'm just tired of the hypocrisy and the fear mongering over a non-issue. I won't even speak to the wasted tax dollars...

EDIT: And these scientists are from a wide variety of countries, whereas NASA is funded by... the US Gov't.

You forgot to mention the other 97% that don't agree with your world view. Maybe cite a few of those?

Irregardless (not a word) there are billions and billions to be made taking either side of that gravy train.

That was debunked long ago, DED. Try to keep up.

I don't have a world view. I have my opinions based on scientific facts.

And how, pray tell, is the side who is saying there is no climate emergency making "billions"?

They don't work for coal producers, big oil, etc for free. Read HD's comment above. There is always big money to be made on either side.

From your original post above: "If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt."

Why are they saying we need better approaches if there is in fact no anthropogenic warming occurring?

Last I saw government does not have money. Anything they spend comes from taxes or inflating the money Le Hockey Dad and I have.

We need better approaches and we need them now because it funnels government money to Le HockeyDad.

Some pretty wealthy dudes like Bill Gates and Musk are spending millions on researching and constructing CO2 mitigation strategies. Thoes fools!

They should read the "science".

I dunno. The tennis and pickle ball courts just opened this week. I may have higher priorities. I’ll just let the government keep flowing tax dollars towards my industry.

I’d rather Trump but will make more money under Harris. (Hedging 101)
