Wall Street Has a $1 Trillion Climate Risk

Climate change is a hoax... There have always been hurricanes, floods, fires, droughts. Most the world has less then 100 years of reliable climate data. There simply weren't weather stations in huge portions of the globe. They can get a general estimate from fossils, but its not very accurate to the precision they claim. The whole thing seems to be about the one thing that has made our standard of living so high.. cheep energy. When they make energy expensive capitalism will start to fail. With all the new regulations businesses will fail. Many seek to gain power from this hoax. Many seek to gain money. And the world will not be a better place without cheep energy. And people will start to cut down forests to keep warm when energy is too expensive and there are no jobs.

Many economic processes depend on natures ability to recycle their toxic environmental outfall.
Consequently their business model depends someone/everyone absorbing their Costs.

OK.. you and I own an apartment bloc and in it individually own our own separate apartments.
If our neighbour decides to build a pig farm in his garden, and the result is a rotten smell, spillages of slurry, pollution of local rivers and public amenities? etc. the reaction from me you and the rest of our local community will be NIMBY. And we'll seek damages, compensation and immediate cessation.
Not because were against his enterprise. But NOT AT OUR EXPENSE. If he can employ technology, spend the money to run that plant without smell and without pollution screwing up our environment, water and neighbourhood .. then good luck NP.

However His business model involves someone else (in this case you and I) paying for the cost of his failing to sanitise the crap his plant is creating. So what if the crap his plant pumps out, creates not just local but regional continental or even Global pollution and scientific evidence shows its overwhelming natures capacity to absorb repair and renew? As with carbon gaseous emissions, plastic and chemical pollution? Then screw him.

Right now our pig farming neighbour is making money only at our expense..LOCALLY..
Hes f***ing up just our local environment. But if he was screwing up our global environment, using his flawed business model thats transferring serious costs of his industry to everybody else I bet not just you and I but the entire world would be justified in moving to stop him.

So label me a Leftie do-good environment? Horse Sh*t.
Im a capitalist who doest like tax evaders, inside traders, polluters and other crooks that manipulate and take advantage of the capitalist system. And funny thing Ive found is that at a personal level, is most climate deniers wouldn't either, if they weren't making lots more $$ from defending the flawed business models of fossil fuel industry that profit from this improperally accounted crap-dump philosophy.

Ive no problem with Fossil fuel industry, if they pay the whole bill for the crap their products leave behind.
We have laws stopping folk (even dogs) from crapping on the pavement we all have to walk on.
We need serious laws to stop folk crapping in the world we all have to live in , with no liability for the crap they generate or for paying for the cleanup of that crap. and the politicians and lobby groups that support them.
This isnt a "Leftie" case or cause.. its responsible Capitalism.. that we need more of.
Just a Thought

I have no clue what your talking about. LOL..

These companies won't pay that tax, You will with higher costs.
The more stuff costs, the worse quality of live you will have

If you start taxing the hell out of these companies.. Gas will be $15 a gallon. (yes consumer will pay the tax)

When you tax a base product like oil, and get get passed on to the consumer it will affect every aspect of your life..

Lets just take food for example..
The farmer will need to charge more to fuel his tractor.
The trucker to charge more to fuel his truck.
The store worker will need a pay raise to be able afford to drive to work.
You will need to pay more to get to the store.

Your $1 ear of corn is now $6, and you have no money for your medication anymore.

How is all these extra costs gonna make life better? Its not.

these companies are doing a pretty good job. They take care of their hazardous waste.
They don't dump into rivers. They are already highly regulated..

this is of course a joke to smile at the weekend

but since they put the theme of the weather,
Has anyone thought of temperature increases in cold regions? Like permafrost, COVID-19 may have been activated there, when a coronavirus freezes, how many years can it remain until it is activated again?

well, that is where you are wrong, there is no such thing (there has been much much higher level of CO2 and temperature in the past, guess what: it roughly goes in hand with the most exuberant amount of life on Earth)... not just you though, you are making the same mistake as most of the people interested in the topic: conflating science with academia...
Some scientists are also academics, some academics are also scientists, but the overlap of the Venn diagram is much smaller than most think it is (and the large majority of academics is also blind to it), but when the job is on the line, most academics will stop doing science and simply join the bandwaggon.
The only evidenced part of the science is that a doubling of CO2 would increase Tº by about ~1 ºC, but everything about the feedbacks is mostly unknown. Why is it do you think it is that the range of the climate sensitivity (the crux of the matter to assess the risk with climate change) given in the IPCC reports has not changed since the first IPCC report (1.5-4.5ºC... though precisely it shrink a bit in the 4th report but came back to that range in the subsequent reports) despite 30 years of research and a freakton on money... while most actual scientific (not academic) evidences point to 0.5-1.5 ºC for CS? If you are not afraid of going down the rabbit hole, you should seriously examined this question... it will lead to a bunch of other questions.

Beyond the "science" there are other interesting aspects to explore
e.g. another issue is to mistake what is reported in the media for what "scientist/academics" actually say (media need a story). Then there is the quasi-religious aspect of it: if you don't repent now (preferably by paying your due to the climate church through tax), Earth will be Hell in many generations (you won't be here to see, can't be proven, but believe us and save your soul). Finally it is the closest thing government have as an opportunity to tax the air you breath... the dream of all, literally creating money out of thin air. Bunch of money to be made, dwarfing any other bond markets that ever existed. As you said, I give you that , some are "crooks that manipulate and take advantage of the capitalist system".
Last but not least, if CO2 was really a pb, then everyone would go for nuclear, the only available and reliable way to decarbonise known to us at this instant. Things may change in 20-50 years, but for now, anyone saying otherwise is either not really concerned with CO2 or simply delusional (or both).
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups...

and on a lighter note (or is it?)
