@tim79338 Global warming is a hoax.Don't believe what the media tells you all the time.

@tim.

Certainly one of the indirect costs of war is caring for the injured and economically "damaged" long after they've come home. This can be said for climate change too. An indirect cost of burning fossil fuels is a degraded habitat. Since we only have the one to keep us alive we'd better pay the costs up front so we curb the later effects.

In that light, giving tax breaks to the wealthy and "dirty" industries needs to end. The revenue should be invested in paying these current costs.

@tim79338 I agree also that there are many issues going on, however, my main concerns are that my family and fellow soldiers are taken care of. Currently they are taking large amounts of funds from soldiers and their families from already failing Veteran programs. These issues are more of a priority to me. So many families and soldiers are just thrown out there, not even knowing about 'secret' benefits/treatments that they are entitled to as is. The economy is failing making it rough for all!

I'm interested in some of your backgrounds that have posted on my brief/vague comment that got so many people so worked up... Please let me know so I can know more about you.

Me, I'm not a drunk, and do save on resources and unfortunately do smoke, but have cut back tremendously over the past five years.

I am a student pursuing RN degree and have served as a Line Medic for the Army NG. Served one tour in Iraq and helped w/ Katrina refugee's. I have majored in Chem, Physics, MicroBio, & Bio

@TheMetaldriger 'Global warming' does effect everyone, and yes humans tend to be stupid and selfish, but that's the problem, but not in the way that most think it does or how most say it does. Yes, pollution is bad, yes, people are disgustingly messy, so on...

This island is extremely beautiful and I would be sad that 'if' it does go under, but I don't think it will be because of 'global warming' as most know it.

@ReduceGHGs

I very much enjoy nature and do agree that people in general are wasteful and trashing our environment, but with all the all the inflation on resources, they are definitely paying for it now. Unfortunately, it's up to big businesses (which are just going to raise their prices even more) and individuals to take care of their 'messes' which honestly isn't really a priority for most.
