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.

How is it short sighted to focus on something we actually have the ability to fix on our own? We could reduce our emissions to zero and China and India wouldn't care.
Nobody here doesn't believe in Climate Change, Nobody. We just don't rank it as the number 1 threat to the US. Right now we are leaving a humungous bill for our kids and their kids to pay and nobody seems to care about it. Nobody. That should be the priority, but everybody spends their time bitching about anything and everything else but.
