The question is that if you don't take action costing $X now, it will cost you $X00000 later on in weather damages. That's not a question. It's a preposterous claim. Trot out your supporting data. Not spending now, what is current US policy is short sighted and will lead to severe costs later on. So you claim. Your claim is not convincing. Please explain how us hurting our economy while sending billions of dollars to Third World ********s and allowing China and India to do whatever they want does anything good at all. -- "Ordinarily he is insane.

Obviously, if you will ignore damage from severe weather, like the USA is doing to Puerto Rico, you won't see the costs of severe weather in your calculations. Obviously if you ignore the fact that severe weather events aren't actually rising you can say all sorts of outrageous idiocy. The USA hasn't finsihed paying for the damage caused by Sandy. How is that relevant to anything. You have made a claim that you only support by handwavium. You should be able to post a data series of tropical storms hitting the US by year and severity and show that it is essentially monotonically increasing by year if your claim is true. You can't do that because the data doesn't show that. But since you refuse to accept that warmer oceans result in more frequent and more intense storms, there is no point in using logic with you. Since you fail to present any data to support your astonishing claim, your claim fails. -- "Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong." -- Thomas Jefferson |
