Short sighted thinking and I’m not saying addressing climate change is easy or that we in the USA can tackle it on our own. The bill your children and their children’s children will pay will be far bigger than if we address it incrementally over the next decade. The predictions for sea level rise, heat induced droughts, wildfires and impact on agricultural are really startling if they hold true. I’m a big believer in science and not political spin on how that gets interpreted. So you can pay me now or pay me three fold later, both parties and most importantly other countries better figure it out. We should be leading in this effort and this administration doesn’t even believe the science. Since we are celebrating putting a man on the moon, maybe the science that made that possible then and predicts weather changes in the future has more merit than this administration is giving it.
