When the loudest politicians actually act in concert with their words, I’ll take them seriously. I’m not arguing the science, I’m arguing the optics and the politics.
Exactly. The argument is not whether climate change is real or not. Common sense tells us that reducing green house emissions isn’t a bad thing. The question is, how much do we want to strangle our economy and the quality of life for our citizens for what? 1-2 degrees of change in 10 years? In what alternate universe does that make sense? These economic and synergistic effects are things that Greta and AOC simply don’t have the experience nor mental fortitude to understand.
