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.

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.

And yet the Energizer Bunny keeps on going and going.

Trump says he wants to save money by pulling out of Paris Accord. Does
this mean that he will redirect money to strenghten infrastructure to
better resist storms? Will he pay to buuild the new trans-Hudson tunnel
so the old one can be shut and repaired because of the damage from
Sandy? Of course not. Climate change deniers are blinded to all
eveidence so they don't even realise that they are already paying the
cost of climate change.


No, what he's proposing is NOT shipping billions of dollars to Third
World nations in the name of 'compensation' for Global Warming.


It's a scam. The Globalists are using Fake Science to push the
notion of "climate change", to try to extract trillions of dollars
from the developed nations, to be sent to the third world nations.


Your tin foil hat is on too tight.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own data.
