Rick Santorum's solution to climate change? Let it ride!

[Stephen Retired]

I guess it's one of those "Jesus Will Provide" things, huh, Rick?

[elzenmahn]

1. He can claim that "Jesus will provide" all he wants...

...but these sound like the words of a bought-off corporate puppet.

Why should he and his owners care about the vast majority of the population, those much meeker than they are? The meek die off from the effects of human-caused climate change, and guess who inherits the earth?

These assholes will be celebrating on the graves of the billions they help to kill.

2. Our grand children are fucked. nt

3. Human beings have 20 years left, tops...

that doesn't mean we shouldn't do all we can to mitigate the effects of climate change. What morons like Santorum don't seem to understand is that with each passing year, it will cost more and more to address the various effects of climate change, greatly impacting his precious economy.

4. His answer is

Why should I be responsible if the other guy won't be. That is not an answer that fixes anything. Somebody has to start doing the right thing, and I thought the mighty US of A is supposed to be the great leader. So much for Republicans being Responsible. Neener neener...I can just hear him saying that.

5. Typical conservative binary thinking

Unless it solves 100% of the problem, it's not worth doing, in their minds.

6. It's really exhausting to actually try to solve problems.

Or to pretend to care. It's so much easier to do nothing and after the disaster hits, pretend you had no way of knowing it would happen.
After all, "no one could have predicted that global climate change would have such terrible consequences."

[Quixote1818]

7. Well, we know Santorum is simply not a leader of any kind

This would have been the correct answer:
