[QUOTE="carlv_52, post: 74115550, member: 420395"] OF COURSE this is about the economy. Everyone thinks that climate change is going to do all these horrible things, but the most startling thing is that it will likely collapse our economy. If we DON'T deal with climate change our economic system WILL collapse. Millions of refugees of sea level rise will move inland and stress the infrastructure in places that cannot handle a massive influx of people. The associated industries and corporations in those affected cities that are being flooded will put a further strain on our economy. Multiyear droughts in the West will collapse our agricultural system (we get so much of our food from the Central Valley right now and it is water constrained to begin with). Agricultural zones are already moving northward (have been for years now) meaning our agricultural infrastructure in the rest of the country will be negatively impacted. How long before we are dependent on Canada for stuff we grow ourselves? Then if the Gulf Stream shuts down or reorganizes it will crash the climate of Western Europe cratering their economies and destroying one of our largest trading partners. So, yeah, it's an ECONOMIC plan. [/QUOTE]
