You know nonsense when you see it? That some august authorities suggest it's not that bad?

What if you're right and people cut emissions anyway? Much harm? Where would that money be spent?

How much would be spent then?

And what if you're wrong and people don't cut emissions? What will happen? How much would be spent then? How much lost in other ways? What about the quality of life for not only other countries but the US in that case?

I realize that any meaningful cutting emissions isn't likely in a place like the US where short-sighted self-interest reigns. Where funnelling money to the Middle East in the form of high fuel prices and military empire building is a priority for Conservatives.

Even so, cutting emissions would be a no-lose proposition. Taking care of Grandma Earth and Mother Nature is probably the most important priority for Mankind. What good is the American Empire if there is global societal disruption, economically, politically, and in health? If the economies are disturbed to the point of being forced to more primitive means of production, creating even more contaminants?
