billvon 3,131 #1 June 2, 2017 Well, it took someone as shortsighted as Trump to get them to admit it, but they finally did - climate change is happening, greenhouse gases are causing it, mitigations are important, we should invest in them, and the effects of climate change may be pretty bad (like flooding.) Of course since they are FOX News, they had to get a dig in at Obama, but that's fine. I am very happy to see science win over partisan politics even at the most republican mainstream media source out there. =============================== Trump is wrong on climate change By Oren Cass Published March 29, 2017 Fox News Climate change is happening; the question is what to do about it. President Obama had one answer: reduce greenhouse-gas emissions aggressively. Unfortunately, his approach was heavy on cost and light on benefit, and with yesterday’s executive order rolling back those efforts, President Trump has rightly begun the process of reversing it. But President Trump's own response to climate change appears to be: nothing. That’s not the right answer either. Most climate policy falls into one of two categories: There is “mitigation,” which means trying to prevent climate change by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions -- think wind farms. And then there is “adaptation,” which means dealing well with whatever change occurs -- think sea walls. The basic problem with Obama’s mitigation-focused approach is that the overwhelming majority of future emissions will come from the developing world as it grows rapidly. U.S. policy has shown little ability to influence that trend, even when we make brave commitments to incur large costs ourselves. We can -- and should -- invest in developing new technologies that might reduce emissions more cheaply, but that takes time, and success is not guaranteed. . . . If President Trump dislikes his predecessor’s approach to adaptation he should put forward an alternative. Ignoring the problem entirely is one of the few things he can do that really would make it worse. ===================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,131 #3 June 2, 2017 >Ummm...I think you mean Oren Cass accepts climate science. It was a FOX News article that accepts climate change. FOX News prints material that matches their political bias - always has, always will. I am very happy to see that even FOX now accepts climate change.

DJL 235 #4 June 2, 2017 We're going to start seeing this more and more and it will go something like this: Scientists and their liberal celebrity spokesmen did not adequately present the information or provide solutions that would reverse the effects of global warming. The "facts" they presented were barely emotional appeals and the solutions were half measures."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
