The US can lead the way, and US technology and science can assist the entire world to limit the effects of climate change. I cannot understand how Republicans can simply abandon our children to a world of rising seas, rising temperatures, extreme weather events, reduced cropland, spreading pestilence, etc. How much would you have to be paid by oil and gas interests to sacrifice your children?
CONSIDER THE FUTURE
We can spend money on, and build, energy efficient buildings and appliances, renewable energy, electric cars, and other means of reducing greenhouse gases, just as easily as we can on coal plants, gas guzzlers, etc. It simply means some products fall out of favor while others come into favor. And if you think steps to slow global warming are expensive, consider the cost of moving most of the population of Florida, Louisiana, and major coastal cities inland.
Scientific consensus: Earth's climate is warming
“The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society.”
“Comprehensive scientific assessments of our current and potential future climates clearly indicate that climate change is real, largely attributable to emissions from human activities, and potentially a very serious problem.”
“Human‐induced climate change requires urgent action. Humanity is the major influence on the global climate change observed over the past 50 years. Rapid societal responses can significantly lessen negative outcomes.”
