        You said “Global warming threatens to kill us all? Carbon tax and gradually increase it” as if that will save us when the temp is +3° higher than the average in the 1800s

          You are right. Nothing can be done. Smoke them if you got them.

          Almost all of life is damage control. It is not about stopping horrible stuff from happening. It is about lessoning the horrible stuff and dealing with the day after. If we tax carbon output we will get less of it. That means the disaster won’t be as bad as it could have been. I apologize that life sucks and then you die is depressing to work with. You should ask the uncaring blind forces that put you here for a refund.

          Meanwhile come monday morning I will be back at work making sure the sewage treatment plants in some city doesn’t flood.

            All I’m saying is you glossed over “climate change” like it was a bad hair day, not the 6th mass extinction that it actually is
