Question

Could all of the combined effects of pollution/global warming bankrupt the country?

Answer 1

Our country is growing over time with some minor ups and downs.  Pollution will not harm our country but socialism will and it is interesting that those that push AGW also push socialism.  There is a good reason for this.  Global warming is a political phenomena nurtured by the left.

Answer 2

Easily, if we do nothing.  Proof.

But reducing it is MUCH cheaper.

This is why China will get on board.  It's occured to them that bankrupting the world with global warming will not be good for business.

jim z - By the left, do you mean these guys? (who understand the above point)

"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"

"National Review (the most prestigious conservative magazine) published a cover story calling on conservatives to shake off denial and get into the climate policy debate"

"Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) 'It is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air.  We really need to do something on fossil fuels.”

"I believe there is now more than enough evidence of climate change to warrant an immediate and comprehensive - but considered - response. Anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial."

Ford Motor Company CEO William Clay Ford, Jr.

"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."

James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

Answer 3

no, because there are people making money be trying to fix the problem

Answer 4

It is sort of amusing that Constapato and Constapato 1 were already taken.  

The country will already be bankrupt by the time the real effects of climate change must be dealt with.
