Wow, I didn't know it was even possible to be a bigot against fact-based reporting.

Still, this is the perfect example of conservative behavior. I don't like the conclusion, therefore I will launch baseless attacks against the messenger.

I'll start worrying when an Antarctic glacier lands on my head.

For Insurers, No Doubts on Climate Change

When big insurance is making trillions of dollars of adjustments based on the science of climate change, either conservatives have to admit they are liars or they have to say that the free market is wrong about climate change.

So were past the point of no return, why bother to do anything now!

If this plays out well, 15 feet must might put me with some prime beachfront property here in southern cal.

Can we get an older white guy in a suite, ASAP, to explain how this is not a problem?

Talking points should include, but not be limited to:

- "Climate has always changed, one way or another"
- "There is no possible way humans could be responsible for this"
- "Think of the new beachfront property!"
- "The other planets are warming, too"
- "Replacing the species diversity lost in a mass extinction usually takes less than 10 million years!"
- "Not destroying the planet costs jobs"

The climate has always changed, and neither major party has proposed anything that would stop the climate from changing. Losing yourself in sarcasm does not change those facts.

Both parties are exactly the same. Both parties are exactly the same. Both parties are exactly the same. Both parties are exactly the same.

(Am I superior to everyone yet?)

Bull.

Shit.

Now a dead letter, cap and trade was a free-market palliative. It would not have done enough, but it was something.

And, yes, the climate has always changed, but never this fast. Google "Permian Triassic extinction" for an idea of what rapid change might mean, and keep in mind that the rate of change at that time was not, as far as is known, as fast as is occurring now.
