You're right - the stakes are much higher with climate change.
- kansface 8y agoSure, but they are not imminent (what is the pearl harbor of climate change?). Further, climate change is highly politicized whereas WWII mobilized the entire country in purpose.
- InitialLastName 8y ago> what is the pearl harbor of climate change? I'd say Katrina, Sandy, Irene, Maria, Camp, Woolsey, and Mendocino, but if you're not convinced already you'll never be.
- sierdolij 8y agoDisclaimer: I'm apolitical because right/left is divide-and-conquer, divided-we-fall noise. Climate change shouldn't be political or some far-off hypothetical.. no propaganda, rationalization or BS can deny the mountain of evidence that it's an immediate, existential threat that demands immediate, decisive action on the decatrillion-dollar moonshot scale (roughly the total, multi-decade cost of Iraq & Afghanistan).
- british_india 8y agoOh yes they are! The CO2 warming we are seeing today come from CO2 that entered the atmosphere 10 years ago. So, the damage is happening RIGHT NOW.
