Climate Change; Can we afford to - not - fix it?

I'm talking about the diseases we already got rid of years ago. Like measles or polio. You talking about covid? That was man made, climate had no part of it.
Climate change has everything to do with immigration and diseases.

Agreed. A huge increase in the population of any species can have effect on the environment for sure. But climate change? I don't think so. If it has any effect it would be so small it would be difficult to measure.

The world governments would do far better to be researching and finding ways for people to thrive in spite of inevitable climate change.
Yes. Fighting mother nature is a fool's errand. I'm not against taking reasonable actions to be greener but we are better off spending money to deal with the effects of Climate Change than we are in trying to fight mother nature. Only an idiot thinks we can defeat mother nature.

But we can devise ways to improve our property and safeguard lives so that Mother Nature doesn't do so much damage. We should be finding ways to desalinate ocean water on a large scale to grow crops, provide potable water etc. We should not be using good farmland to grow corn for ethanol or whatever that does not improve anybody's life.

And we should be moving people out of food plains, both coastal and riverland, and stop trying to pretend that the violence and inevitability of weather events are anything other than what has always been.
 
There has always been extreme weather events (EWE) of all kinds, so it's difficult to point at any one EWE and say it was caused by climate change. But we don't have to prove any single EWE was caused by climate change to know that climate change is costing us ever greater losses. This graph on the NOAA website shows that since 1980 EWE ( described as those events with losses in excess of one billion dollars in inflation adjusted dollars ) have gone from 3 - 6 per year to now where we are having 15 - 20..


We can't say any particular EWE is caused by climate change, but we can say with certainty that we are sustaining 15 - 20 billion ( many are multi-billion) dollar loss events in excess of what we had before the rapid global warming over the last four decades.

Total losses due to Billion Dollar EWE are now more than 2 1/2 Trillion dollars.

When we can no longer afford to repair our infrastructure, or simply can no longer keep up the pace of needed repairs we will wonder why solving
our fossil fuels dependency was resisted at all.

You can't fix nature lol
 
Nope, it’s about evolution and the rate of change in our climate faster than our species can adapt. All diseases are part of the conversation.
Do you believe in evolution ? Yes or no.
I believe covid was a man made virus funded by Fauci. No climate change was involved.
 
No it doesn't, just like climate change happens naturally and has for millions of years. We have nothing to do with it.
Obviously you have little to no medical or science knowledge. Neither do you have a clue what climate change is really about. Time spent at any of the hundreds of climate science would do wonders to lessen your ignorance.
 
but we are better off spending money to deal with the effects of Climate Change


and what are those so-called "effects?"

More canes? Nope, strongest decade on record still the 1940s, amazing in the "warming" oceans....

Ocean rise? Show us ONE SINGLE PHOTO of a landmark "sinking."

Statue of Liberty - no
Hawaii 5-0 beach - no
Venice - no


In order to understand the effects of climate change, it helps to actually discover what causes it..


 
Do you even know what a theory is in science ?


Can you explain a map of the Arctic yet...???


 
theories aren’t “proven”.


Actually theories are proven or disproven with DATA, data like highly correlated satellite and balloon data showing NO WARMING in the atmosphere despite rising Co2....

Wrong. You aren’t a science person are you ? Only an ignoramuses keeps following Tuckerisms.

That’s 10 straight idiotic claims you made. You can’t tell us if it’s a picture in the winter or summer can you....
It’s called Snow ice dufus.

The best fiscal decision would be to ignore climate kooks entirely.

Possibly the best environmental and humanitarian decision as well.
