WASHINGTON – Last month, deep in a 500-page environmental impact statement, the Trump administration made a startling assumption: On its current course, the planet will warm a disastrous 7 degrees by the end of this century.
A rise of 7 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 4 degrees Celsius, compared with preindustrial levels would be catastrophic, according to scientists. Many coral reefs would dissolve in increasingly acidic oceans. Parts of Manhattan and Miami would be underwater without costly coastal defenses. Extreme heat waves would routinely smother large parts of the globe.
But the administration did not offer this dire forecast as part of an argument to combat climate change. Just the opposite: The analysis assumes the planet’s fate is already sealed.

I’ll have your back when you get here.
If climate turns areas near the equator unlivable, not my problem.
Militarize the border, shoot on sight.
Maybe some hunger games style lotto to see who gets in.
Your “real answers” sound like trumpism on steroids. About right?
Don't you people have (grand) children?
