When climate crisis deniers and their allies argue that cap-and-trade and other legislation costs too much, they always seem to ignore the price of inaction.

The LA Times reported:

"Global warming could rob the U.S. economy of $1.4 billion a year in lost corn production alone, a national environmental group estimated in a report released Thursday."

"The Environment America study, based on government and university data, projects that warming temperatures will reduce yields of the nation's biggest crop by 3% in the Midwest and the South compared with projected yields without further global warming."

"Iowa would be hit hardest, losing $259 million a year in corn revenues, followed by Illinois at $243 million. California, which leads the country in agriculture but doesn't grow much corn, would take an estimated $4.7-million hit."

Nearly every industry will be impacted by our planet's warming. The costs of inaction far out way any expense incurred to repower America.

This was posted on Al Gore's Blog today. Global Warming is one of my biggest pet peeves. Or, more specifically, people's lack of concern over global climate change is one of my biggest pet peeves. Yes, the Earth goes through cycles of hot and cold but the rate of change in temperature has never been this extreme.

Think about it. Learn about it.




Have nightmare's about it like I do.
