Yeah let's not cut off our nose to spite our face.

Even the IPCC reports indicate at most a 2% cost in world GDP in 50 years. Our GDP grows by at least 2% a year. It's trivial to build a few dykes etc (except in leftist areas where we want them to drown).

Educate yourself

I don't think we need anymore dykes, and we probably should began eradicating them.

Looked inside the top link, and he appears to be a genuine scientist, not another leftist propagandist.

Many scientists are leftist propagandists.

    It's so difficult for me to resist the temptation of making a pun. I've removed my own insightful vote, at least, and added strike-through.

    Dang, the deletion seems to remove it from my own message page too.

    Speaking of cutting off noses, shouldn't we be going for the biggest offenders first?

    Cyrano de Bergerac is a play written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand. There was a real Cyrano de Bergerac, and the play is a fictionalisation.

    A year before my grandfather was born. I had not heard of this Cyrano character, but he seems to have been headed down the wrong path.

    I have several copies of the play. Very romantically poetic, something I'm not into unless it's expertly done. More specifically I love many period swashbuckling novels and movies, from obscure to the classics. (I wish I'd become aware to the subtleties of propaganda way back when, not just to be aware, but be analytical.) I love the 2 movies too, and many of the variations on the themes. There's a new Cyrano movie coming out but it looks terribly woke despite me wanting so much to like it.
