    You don’t have a lot of credibility if you’re posting stuff from Sen. Foghorn Leghorn

    Fuck John Kennedy straight in the mouth with 12 rusty donkey cocks.
    He probably thinks Deepwater Horizon was a boon to his state because Marky Marky and the Funky Bunch did a movie about it.

    They seem pretty damn sure how much temperatures will increase if nothing is done. Seems logical that they should have an idea how much they'll decrease if we do exactly what they say we should.

    Mechanic: "It'll cost you $7,500, but I'm not sure that will get your car running."

    You going to pay?

    You saying the earth is broken beyond repair so we should just say fuck it and buy a new one?

    Without 'em (and comically inept numerical "reasoning"), what would sportsjournalists.com be?

    No. I'm saying WE DON'T KNOW 1) if it can be repaired and 2) how much it'll cost. See War On Drugs.

    Since all we're doing is printing money, nobody tangibly feels much of anything (except that $4 box of cereal suddenly is $8). Tell Americans "It'll take $10,000 a year out of your paycheck" and see what direction support goes.

    If it's broken beyond repair, then why should we spend $2 trillion a year trying to fix it?
    It was a simple question. They claim with confidence that if we do nothing, they know to the degree how much the average temperature will warm by 2050. So if they have a plan to avoid that horrible fate shouldn't they be able to cite with the same confidence how much the average temperature will decrease if said plan is enacted? Maybe even an educated guess or a best and worst case scenario?

    I’m playing his analogy to completion. A car is too expensive to fix, you get a new one. The Earth mechanic said it will cost a lot to fix. So we need a new earth, right?

    Of course not. It’s one of those things where the money is getting spent one way or another. Do we spend on fixing the disasters that will come and come more often or do we spend to give our children a chance? Seems some are more content to say “I got mine and I don’t want to pay for yours” than to actually try to slow down a horrible existence for much of humanity.
