So, does Bors super-duper, absolutely promise us no more natural disasters once all men are burning candles for light and getting around by hand-crafted bicycles?
Try to grasp this. Working on things like global warming does not guarantee you won’t have problems anymore than getting vaccinated guarantees you won’t get sick. It just helps reduce the odds.
It is nice to see someone laying out the solution in such realistic terms. BTW: A lot of New Yorkers are burning candles right now and go around on bikes, so you end up with that scenario anyway…
Maddow made a good point. Netherlands and Britain have spent plenty to protect against “the sea”. When a proposal costing $5 billion to build “protection” came around, NY and others said, “too expensive”. Now that ONESTORM has caused over $65 BILLION in preventable damage, ever hear the term “an ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure”??
Even if we stopped producing carbon today, we’d still get bad storms. But if we don’t, we’ll get far more. It will take a long time to empty the bathtub (there’s a pretty small drain taking carbon back out of the atmosphere), but it will NEVER empty if we don’t stop putting out this much carbon. The free market solution is to make carbon emissions expensive, preferably with a simple carbon tax, and let the market sort out energy through alternatives, including conservation. Are you willing to be a true free market conservative on this, or are you really after protecting big corporations at taxpayer expense?
Presently, Americans are planning by 4 days. And by blackmail. See the following quote: “The Republican challenger also unleashed a sharply partisan attack, warning in the same speech that reelecting Obama would lead to another showdown in Congress next year over the debt ceiling, followed by a possible government shutdown and default on debts.” Way to go.

From recession woes to social networking, Matt Bors’ cartoons dissect and satirize the ways of the world to make readers think and laugh about the real issues affecting them.

Listen, I’m not going to change my position on climate change again, unless I think it will get me a vote.

Americans plan by the quarter, not the long term.
It’s really that idea that profits have to increase every quarter that got us into this mess.
