the only costs that count are the lost profits and jobs in unsustainable industries, the only fairness is that those who don’t want to change shouldn’t have to.

The deserving are coal miners, not construction workers sent home during heat waves; gas station owners, but not shellfish farmers; auto dealership and gas stove manufacturers, but not the mountain towns whose whole economies depend on skiers showing up in the winter, staring at bare rock and warm days in December. This was interesting framing of job losses. I wonder if there is analysis of the short term economic loses of these changing weather patterns.
