Have you no compassion for the poor billionaires? Your plan will denigrate their hopes of getting a larger yacht. Reduce the hidden bankrolls they have to feed republicans who vote in Washington.

The entire middle of the country is subject to extremely nasty weather the next 72 hours. But of course those who own the Republican Party have nothing to do with it.

And, as was said, not addressing climate change is much more expensive than attempting to ignore it - as homes and businesses are devastated by increased flooding, hurricanes and erosion.
