White House admits Trump climate policies will cost Americans $500 billion a year

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

You fail to understand public relations. Since when does consensus = fact? I prefer independent data that isn't politically motivated.

Lol @ this. That’s why you get your climate science from fringe republicans and the imbecile president.

Because you like independent data. Fn lulz

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Yeah, I live out in Nassau County and the summer months are great but I hate the fucking No'reaster's and the winter

Yup I hate the winter. How fucking brutally cold was it over thanksgiving week. It was like Antarctica

Like?

When did I say it was fact? It is the consensus conclusion by the experts with the current data set. These oil giants have near limitless resources and have funded their own studies, why would they admit that AGW is real unless that was what their scientists concluded as well?

coastal elites btfo! take that libs

What's up with this?

The people who support the climate denial in general wont believe this report or believe it may be true but that mankind isnt responsibole for most of it and that the earth is in cycles. So they see this loss as either over inflated, made up, or not the result of mans actions and then therefore inevitable.

I prefer data that's not inconvenient.

Fuck North Dakota. Holy hell I'd rather live in an alligator swamp in a hurricane prime area

But Montana is amazing. My grandparents and some extended family live there. I love visiting

I moved from Wyoming to Tampa basically on that thought process.

they wont even think that far, as shown in ths thread. It automatically goes to "well then the earth would be destroyed 10 years ago" stupidity.

 

[JoshTehV]

Lol, this is stupid as shit. Yeah , its only going to cost half the national deficit a year.

Show me the proof that a little change in climate is this great catastrophe and i will donate $17 to the cause.

 

[Fanu]

like you will give any thought to that proof
you will just automatically disregard it as politically motivated or something else that fits your narrative (or someone else narrative that you are just regurgitating)

if you dont accept climate change after 30+ years of scientists alarming us (people who research this shit for a living, not just armchair pro's that work as plumbers), then there is no hope for you

even oil industry has changed its stance - you know, the guys who have the least to benefit from cleaner tech

but you do you and enjoy being stupid while your country is hit by by ever increasing record number of natural disasters

btw here is one example of climate change affecting you right now:

Lol at "thinkprogress". I guess that settles it. We have to give all the liberal elite our money or else the north pole will melt by 10 years ago.

It takes a special kind of stupid to follow the money and end anywhere besides the owners of literaly hundreds of trillions (yes literally) worth of fossil fuels reserves.

Are you not embarrassed?

Why bring up consensus then? You just don't like your theory picked apart. Tell me, since when did you start trusting big oil? You have a difficult time proving that global warming is caused by man, when we know the climate changes on Mars too.

 

[Hognoxious]

This is not exactly news. The US is expected to be the second hardest hit country in the world. It will be a complete disaster in every sense including financially. These morons just refuse to do anything about it.

Nature just did a recent report on it too: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06827-x

Even if you were brainwashed enough to think that man had nothing to do with it (and that's idiotic for anyone who knows anything about climate change), the fact of the matter is that the climate IS changing and something has to be done to curb the change, including limiting CO2.

Besides all the weather changes, sea levels are rising too which will be a real fucking problem for the coastlines:

This idiot says this seriously.


No you dolt, they want to actually do something instead of just sitting on their asses. Making a change towards clean energy would be a start.

Current facts keep getting in the way of religious climate theories though.

What do you do for a living that involves you studying climate and weather patterns?

Are you being serious? I'll let you read the article, if you still want me to respond let me know.

He's not trusting big oil you dope. He's just saying that even they agree it's a huge issue, and they're part of the problem so that just shows how big of problem climate change is.

"Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals1 show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree*: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position."

Even in his article it states that 5 islands have already disappeared due to rise in sea levels, and 6 more are on their way.

This dude is either an idiot or trying to spew misinformation for some reason in this site.

What the hell are you going on about with following money you fucking goof?
