re: #233 Born Young

I wouldn’t argue with the reality of that, but the longer we, meaning the leading economies, put off reducing our carbon output, the more costly in terms of human lives and money it’s going to be later.

How to get the reality matching the need? Elect science literate people.

Yeah but that’s next to impossible to attain at this point. I could see it maybe 10 years down the road. What I could see Republicans supporting is high speed rail; light rail; solar; wind projects; etc. On that I think we could easily move forward.

The only other possibility would be some kind of catastrophic climate event such as sustained droughts; wildfires; forest fires; etc. Increased “symptoms” as it were. Otherwise, in the TPGOP environment I don’t see it happening.

It’s not the only solution. If we look at it as the only solution then we’re screwed because Republicans will simply not vote for it.
