H’mmm.  Let’s see now.  I’m seeing constant reports of horrible floods around the world, scorching heat waves, devastating forest fires.  Annual emergency expenditures of billions are needed to restore life to some semblance of recovery before the next disaster strikes.

Fifty years ago, scientists were warning the public of impending disasters if global warming was not addressed.  A universal answer was “That’s too bad, but we can’t afford to make changes.”  Instead our leaders embarked on two ruinous wars that couldn’t be won that cost trillions and killed thousands of people.  Is something missing here?  What would our current problems look like if a tenth of those trillions were spent on mitigating the effects of carbon pollution? 

Oh well, not to worry.  The children in the Congressional Day Care Centers are so far sighted and wise, I know we have nothing to worry about.  I’m so happy.
