TYT: Billionaires Choking Out Climate Change Science

[CreekDog]

21. we can reduce our emissions because it's the right thing to do

if every nation only does the right thing when all the other nations agree to do the right thing, you have a formula for inaction and a situation where nobody reduces emissions.

nevermind that China is going to need to reduce emissions at some point because their severe air pollution problems are going to endanger their population and increase the cost of their healthcare, as well as endanger their water supplies.

all these things will impact their industrial capacity, which at some point they will realize, many within their government do realize this already.

so the idea that we, here in the US have to wait for India and China to see the light before we act is nonsense.

Germany has certainly shown that moving to alternative energy can be done while increasing the country's standard of living and amidst a thriving economy.

why can't we, or do you not think this country is capable of doing good things?
