You need to catch up on the news.

Yet liberal, progressives and the DiCaprio's of the world are buying beachfront, coastal property. LOL. What a joke. Of course the liberal media will say the sky is falling, fossil fuel is the devil, and we need more taxes and big government programs to "fix" the problem even though any climate change is most likely out of our control.

Keep being out of touch libs, the majority of people are worried about jobs, the economy, their 401K, house value, kids education, that new Jeep, price of gasoline, where they are going on vacation...….

Sanspeur, talking about the consequences of climate change to Denialists and Trumpists is like discussing it with self-centered dim-witted children. That the consequences of the heating planet will be millions dead, millions or tens of millions of refugees or displaced persons, matters not to these pro-life hypocrites. It is all about them. It is all that matters.

I actually do care about future generations which is why I've railed against the national debt for DECADES.
I just don't think there's a damn thing we can do about temperatures going up. No government policy, no tax, no liberal pie-in-the-sky program is going to fix it. So therefore it falls under the category of, I'm not worrying about it.

Just like:

-Predictions of global cooling in the 70s.
-Predictions of mass starvation in the 1975.
-Predictions of mass extinctions by 1995.
-Predictions of metal depletion by 1990.
-Predictions of running out of oil by 1990.

And so on...

We have reached a point in society where we have so much prosperity that we have the LUXURY to worry about pie in the sky things like climate change, Confederate Statues, pictures of the Founding Fathers, which EV is best, and if a person was disrespected for whatever reason in a Starbucks. I wonder what people will do if/when the have to face REAL ADVERSITY.

Greenland's ice is melting six times faster now than it was four decades ago; the ice sheet is sloughing off an average of 286 billion tons of ice per year.

And?

The climate has changed for billions of years.

Do you think nature stops because humans like a specific climate?

Meh! West Antarctica is losing massive volumes of ice while East Antarctica is gaining ice... geological hotspots are the culprit, not CO2.
