He made a very visceral point that resonated with me. $1000 could be the difference between camping in the Carolinas with my dog or dying.
No plan is keeping Florida above water.

I’m not worried about the apocalypse; I’m worried about not being able to evacuate. $1000 is enough to roll out. $150 isn’t. Global Warming down here means hurricanes. When a Cat 5 is two days out $1000 beats a Green New Deal

The answer to global warming is technology. Clean energy and carbon trapping technology. When we needed the a bomb, we got a bunch of scientists in a room, threw funding at them and said figure it out. When we wanted to go to the moon before the Ruskies, we did the same.
We could solve the problem if it were a priority. Problem is it's not at all a priority for Republicans and Democrats are more obsessed with stupid **** like carbon taxing and trying to hurt oil companies. If you take the forecasts of the climate scientists seriously, this just isn't gonna work. Like Yang mentioned penalizing emissions in the states does nothing to stop China. It's an all or nothing issue. Either we to replace the current infrastructure with something that other countries would be eager to adopt, or you might as well just search for high ground Interestingly enough, short term climate change will benefit Russia and so they are not only not fighting to stop it, but eagerly awaiting it. |

And if you’re not even discussing nuclear power it’s not even an honest conversation from the get-go.

Today’s the first of the month. If the cat five was 100 miles out I’d have the cash in hand.

Carbon taxing is ineffective and does nothing other that slow the economy. |

Nuclear is a better alternative to fossil fuels but long term we need something better, unless someone comes up with a better plan for dealing with the waste |
