Who ever could have guessed it!!!!
Well....not as shocked as Claude Rains....
This:
"Climate change not as threatening to planet as previously thought, new research suggests
Climate change poses less of an immediate threat to the planet than previously thought because scientists got their modelling wrong,....z'
Climate change not as threatening to planet as previously thought, new research suggests
The new fall-back position:
"Experts now say there is a two-in-three chance of keeping global temperatures within 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, the ultimate goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement."
And...
"They also condemned the “overreaction” to the US’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, announced by Donald Trump in June, saying it is unlikely to make a significant difference."
Ibid.
Know that old joke about a NYTimes headline, "World to end tomorrow- minorities hurt worst!!!"
When can we expect a retreat on that one, too?
I think climate change is a threat to world in the long run, but to be honest I think most people care more about jobs and employment now then how they are impacting the environment.
I think we have way too many environmental laws that creates too much red tape that prevents employers from hiring. Some states it costs a lot more to hire employees than others due to all the environmental and safety bs they have to go through.
I really needed a good job badly and I didn't care how dangerous it was, so I took up over the road truck driving.
Many people including myself will take dangerous jobs like truck driving because we need the money and we could care less about the long term health consequences or safety risks.
