Also, question the use of computer modeling as empirical data (it's not/GIGO forever), and the redistribution of $$$ to somehow "solve" this "problem".
No, there's only so much adapting we can do at this point. The level of threats will keep getting much larger, in fact the entire western US has an exceptional drought with high fire danger that won't be going away. Any water to put out those fires available nearby? No, not likely as most of it is already gone due to the drought.
Please provide your data that "weather/climate" disasters are increasing.
Are you sure it's just not the media coverage nowadays is a LOT more?
Also, what is your "solution" to this "problem?" Pay more money to the government?
The solution is a public/private partnership to have technologies advance at the fastest and most efficient rate possible at the lowest cost to allow for the lowest carbon solutions. Deep decarbonization can continue to occur as technological gains and improvements advance. There will be winners and losers like with anything.

Well, you're all in with the doom cult, so no use using facts and real science.
Like most liberal agendas, it is a scam based on scare tactics to redistribute income.
100% agree. The folly is a group of politicians and elites who consider themselves above mother nature and millions of years of earths warming/cooling cycles. Yet they continue to buy homes on the ocean and fly their private jets while claiming the sky is falling. Once again govt. doesn't have a clue and comes up with another BIG LIE. Nothing remains constant - nothing.

To me, the solution would seem to be to go in the other direction.
If this is such a huge problem, then "they" should be encouraging people to disconnect from electricity, grow their own food, make their own clothes, walk, ride horses, live off the land, etc.
More technology only means more extraction of valuable limited resources and using vast amounts of man-made energy to move things about. There is no good way to retain our current lifestyle expectations from an environmental perspective.
Yes I'm very skeptical about the climate change narrative. From a big picture perspective, I'm not convinced the climate is any more extreme now than it's ever been.
It's also hard to take the alarmists seriously when they themselves don't really change their own lifestyles to any great degree.
They just preach at the rest of us on how we should live and give up things they're not willing to give up. If it's really that dire, they're doing a terrible job at setting the example.
Considering that, it shouldn't be too hard to understand why so many people have a hard time taking any of this seriously.
I certainly don't mind reaping the benefits of environmental policies: cleaner air, water, and soil, etc. Less noise and light pollution would be nice too... and they should also do something about those laser-beam LED's so night driving can become pleasant again.
Republican question: Where are the machines and carbon producing technologies during this period that made all that happen?
