Climate Change; Can we afford to - not - fix it?

[wihosa]

There has always been extreme weather events (EWE) of all kinds, so it's difficult to point at any one EWE and say it was caused by climate change. But we don't have to prove any single EWE was caused by climate change to know that climate change is costing us ever greater losses. This graph on the NOAA website shows that since 1980 EWE ( described as those events with losses in excess of one billion dollars in inflation adjusted dollars ) have gone from 3 - 6 per year to now where we are having 15 - 20..


We can't say any particular EWE is caused by climate change, but we can say with certainty that we are sustaining 15 - 20 billion ( many are multi-billion) dollar loss events in excess of what we had before the rapid global warming over the last four decades.

Total losses due to Billion Dollar EWE are now more than 2 1/2 Trillion dollars.

When we can no longer afford to repair our infrastructure, or simply can no longer keep up the pace of needed repairs we will wonder why solving
our fossil fuels dependency was resisted at all.

Manmade Climate Change is an unproven hypothesis.
It is not a fact.
If a person believes in Manmade Climate Change then they should prove it by stop using electricity and cars, planes and trains.

The experts need to tell us how the temperature increase of 0,72°C in that time span can be responsible for such a massive increase in storms.
Do you have an idea? Is it really the temperature? Maybe it is the pollution? Or the definition of storms?

Democrats don't believe in global warming or that it's man made, they oppose the two by far largest and economically viable solutions, nuclear and natural gas. They instead want to force us to buy electric batteries that are worse than oil. That's a Democrat solution. Poorly conceived and ineffective

Climate Change; Can we afford to - not - fix it?​

Fix it? If I were living on a farm here and had no TV, radio or internet to hear all of the leftwing tripe and angst about climate doom, I'd have absolutely no idea the climate was any different than it was 50 years ago!

Except maybe the past couple of years our winters have been a bit lighter than usual in snowfall.

Thank you!

I'll remind you then. Fifty years ago Democrats said we were headed into a new ice age and they were hysterical about it

Two silly assed notions, that human activity has an affect on the climate and handing money and power to government can fix anything.
Improvise, adapt, and overcome through voluntary private investment is where effort should be made.

More people equals more development equals more damage. Not to mention more poor govt policy. See New Orleans.

That would be libs like Bill Gates?

You say, “Yeah, well, we can’t prove these ewe events support the global warming ideology, but these events are so costly, let’s pretend like they are connected.” DeRp!!

The Earth is pretty hardy and can absorb a lot.

Simply pointing out why costs of storms have gone up. Huge demand for beach property. Density has increased.

I was just add to that. I am not arguing with your point.

Climate has been changing since the dawn of time without man's interference. It's the height of arrogance to believe that raising taxes will make summers cool and winters hot.

Democrats don't believe any different. They just see political power in global warming, cooling, warming ...

Exactly how do you propose we control the weather? Also if you want to reduce the damage from tropical cyclones is to get people to move inland, good luck with that. The higher populations living within 50 miles of the coasts are the reason for the higher damages.

the reason losses go up is because more people and business move into those areas not because the storms are worse.
