:sigh: you don't "make a better world for nothing". Preventing climate change would be extraordinarily expensive, if we were to actually do it.

Lying about it doesn't make you anymore correct.

It's equivalent to "for no reason" not to "for no cost"

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago

The reason would be to not cost so much...

[-] Exatron@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

It would cost far more to not address the issue.

But the man in the comic assumes there is no issue at play.

No, it's making fun of that assumption.

So, you don't believe those things are worth the cost, absent the threat of climate change?

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

I do but that's not the conversation we're having.

What conversation are we having?

More expensive for the rich, yes. The rest of us want to stop having to pay for things we don't want through degrading our surrounding environment.
