You know that. I know that. Anybody with a brain knows that. But politicians don't know that, especially when highly paid liars from the energy industry twist the truth till it's inside out.

I don't think anything will happen till a major ice sheet collapses or significant rivers dry up for lack of glacial melt.

Re: Grrrr (4.00 / 2)

but they ain't major players. If the Greenland or W Antarctica ice sheets collapse, then london & New york are going to have new shorelines. That will be when they start taking it seriously. Until then they just think of it as a tax that can be avoided if they pay enough bribes.

Why is that? Let me guess. Because the political system selects for people whose comparative advantage is willing elections, not understanding things.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?
