we are going to be looking at flood, famine and war on a scale that will be far worse than the devastation of WW2. Why support that? It is time to stop pandering to those who want to be reckless with human lives and our planet. The planet does not belong to them. It belongs to all of us and to future generations who have not been born yet. The deniers tend to be authoritarians who would likely support Trump or the GOP, who incidentally are willing to be reckless with human lives when it comes to other issues, like healthcare or immigration or displaying American might. We should be all working together to find solutions to this problem, not acting as isolationists who dismiss science and dismiss facts, because we think we are somehow superior and have the secret knowledge that means we know better. We have a duty of care to protect our planet and to do all we can to prevent global catastrophe. So, yes, I agree entirely with Augiedog.
