That’s the lie that deniers and billionaires peddle: that saving our own lives is just too costly to consider.
Which, when a certain section of the populace hears that enough, they don’t even stop to think about how that entire statement is framed around obtaining and keeping wealth. How that’s positioned as the default stance: capitalistic success above all else.
oh, there is so much more wrong. beautyful shot, but also stupid beyond beliving. (I once wrote a pretty long rant somewhere, right after seeing it. this one made me really mad. mostly hated it)
i heard a reporter on the radio today say our “current climate crisis” - current!? that’s some unrealistic optimism for you.
i guess the size and inevitably of what we know *already" is going to happen ( even if we stop emissions today ) is just too big to process.
points for alliteration though.
If there is no more Earth there is always Cloud Daddies house though right?
They take US$ in heaven.
And, and they don’t smoke pot and beer is free.
Fighting is fine, we’ll have the best firearms, and there is always a war.
Cloud Daddies house is the shit!
That is the most well-presented depiction of the “debate” I’ve ever seen, ima steal it! 
Really? How much did we get for him? Is it enough to pay for the Green New Deal?
It hurts the cerebral cortex to listen to anything Fox Comedy Channel. F’ing headache here we come…
i love the howard schultz ticker “town hall” ticker in the bottom right corner. ( i vaguely wonder how much he paid them for that one )
“The scientists, economists, and environmentalists that are saying this stuff, they don’t realize what a wealthy area this is.” Yikes!
Even if climate change isn’t driven by human action or even if it’s not real, spending money to switch to green energy is going to boost the economy. What’s the downside for the average Fox viewer? Are they all coal mine owners? Are they all incapable of diversifying their investments to profit from this?
How are you going to pay for it?
Credits, Whitey!
I believe that many climate change denier individuals only care about their own personal lives: “I don’t see CC affecting me during my lifetime, so why do anything about it… especially since doing something about it may hit me financially. Fuck the future.” And their children… and their grandchildren…
Enemy tribe all bad. Must beat enemy tribe.
Doesn’t that chart show that the consensus is that it will not be a catastrophe, but rather just a substantial cost?
Maybe that is why we can’t get the momentum to incur a substantial cost now.
Annoying. In a millions years given 365 millions chances I would not be that articulate. Annoying!!!
IDEA: FAKED MISSION TO MARS TO COLONIZE AND TERRAFORM
You know the very same people who are destroying things here physically, politically, etc. would find a way to muscle in on the first flights out, so why not just let them have it? Trump, Putin, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Zuckerberg, the Kochs, the entire global top 1%, etc.
If they succeed, great. Good riddance. If they don’t, no big loss. /s
They have to play it that way. See, the possibility of planetary ecological collapse, or ‘deliberate ecocide by negligence’, is not a fear-mongering point that their target demographic understands, and their corporate sponsors think that they’ll lose a lot of money by making such profound changes in how they do business. They’re right, of course, with the same caveat as applies to any other such undertaking: they will lose big if they do it wrong. What so many of these huge corporations forget is that they owe their existence and competitive edges to taking necessary risks. And, as just the most blatant example of evidence of what happens to companies that only change when they have no choice: Ford Motor Company. Henry set the standard for that when he ripped apart a ‘new model car’ with his bare hands. Then, they were the company fighting hardest against mandatory seatbelts and holding out the longest. And what reputation do they have?
Lesson One in Journalism: When interviewing a subject, don’t push your agenda in so obvious a manner that you end up looking like an idiot.
It is the “final solution” to the problem of “The Marching Morons”
Well, I couldn’t find a precise estimate, but the Sun would contain a staggering amount the stuff. If I thought they’d go themselves I’d suggest an exploratory mission.
