"We're not in principle against stopping climate change, we're just against every specific measure proposed to counter climate change."
Sorry, I'm really tired of hearing these arguments.
- fdschoeneman 5y agoIf you're tired of hearing these arguments, you may wish to consider not making them to yourself and then putting quotes around them as if someone else said them.
- Aunche 5y agoI have an alternative $3.5 trillion climate bill. It's to spend $2.5 trillion dollars on purchasing carbon credits and spend $1 trillion as a paycheck for me for coming up with this brilliant bill. Don't agree? I guess you're just against saving the planet. In all seriousness, I think that some of the proposals are even more handwavy about how they would decrease emissions than carbon credits. I also wouldn't be surprised if essentially $1 trillion will be spent pandering to the politicians' base rather than doing good for the nation. It's not too different from spending the money on yourself.
