From ''The republicans are putting my family in danger''

Post by _Amore »

ResIspa,
You came back - just for me?? Ah, so sweet! So, are we going to pick up where we left off - you telling others what I believe?

Ok, so since you believe I am in denial... what does that make someone who support spending trillions of dollars just because the weather changes?

To borrow a phrase from another frequent poster in this forum, that sounds like a ‘hair on fire’ claim. Do you have any examples of this trillion-dollar(s) spending, or are you just pulling asinine statements out of thin air again?

The longer we delay in addressing and mitigating climate change, the more expensive and difficult it will become to mitigate it, not just in dollars, but in human lives and tragedy. What it will cost to turn it around is peanuts compared to the cost of failure to do so. The weather changes themselves due to climate change are already costing us trillions of dollars, or soon will be.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
