As you can see from the comments, Trumpians are not interested in footing the cost of trying to prevent the only place we can live from being unlivable, but don’t mind footing the cost for a vanity wall....

‘murica.

That must mean people in general are Trumpians, even you liberals who whine but do nothing.

Why People Aren’t Motivated to Address Climate Change

...If people are motivated to avoid threats to their existence, why is it so hard to get people to act on climate change?

Unfortunately, climate change involves a combination of factors that make it hard for people to get motivated.

First, acting on climate change represents a trade-off between short-term and long-term benefits, which is the hardest trade-off for people to make....

Second, climate change is a nonlinear problem....

Third, many effects of climate change are distant from most people....

Fourth, the future is always more uncertain than the present....

Also because alarmists do little more than insult anyone who is skeptical.

Don't worry your pretty little head over it. If the world becomes unlivable it will be because your side won the political argument.

Of course you will never do this. I didn't come from an animal, people are not born reprobates, and the seas will roar, earthquakes, pestilence and wars will come in the end times like never before.

We will never convince the deniers. Giant world wide conspiracy theories are fun and exciting to think about. Slowly changing climates, where the action happens over years or even decades, just can't compete with that for entertainment value.

Then there is the feeling of belonging these socially handicapped tRumpkins get from high-fiving each other every time they think they've scored some sort of point. For instance the all the screeching being done about the polar vortex disruptions last week. According to RWNJ pundits it was proof positive that global.warming was a hoax.

And finally there's the way these things are presented to them, as if they are some kinda privileged information that only a chosen few get to know. It makes them feel (falsely) superior to everyone else, even if only for a few minutes, and that can be a powerful thing if you suffer from low self esteem like the vast majority of these nut-bars do.

It's far easier to believe that the only people who question the man-made global warming "consensus" of "climate scientists" are stupid Trump cultists. That way, you never have to confront all the very intelligent and serious people who've been questioning it for years.

I want to thank each and every one of you for proving my point.

[Crepitus]

You won't convince anyone of anything when you poison the well with labeling and name calling like that.

I'm not trying to. It's just a statement

What do you even know about climate change?

Explain the gobal warming hiatus and how it might be explained. No need to get extremely techinical. Just the basics.

The true hoax is the one being "attempted" to be perpetrated on the american people by the liars which is invasive in the entire left wing press and most all liberal polticians.

The good thing is theyve all been exposed and its the normal americans that they call names and lie about and attack.

We must allow the left to keep talking, with every spoken insult with every spoken lie is another shovelful out of their grave
