We’re all gonna burn and be overwhelmed by millions upon millions of climate refugees.

Always? We've been underfunding our military for generations. This new spending is badly needed catch up to get us functional.

It's not like it's an existential threat or anything. Besides, we can just use the military to shoot at the climate until it cooperates. /s

Just like provinces and municipalities.

"No money for education, healthcare, or bike lanes."

Also, "We're spending countless tens of millions to widen a road so that people can sit in traffic for 30 seconds less than before while making it less safe for all other road users! Vote for us again, plz."

Nope, we're all going to hell, on Earth.

Oops, turns out the SMOC, the Antarctic counterpart to the AMOC... yeah looks like it broke and flipped about a decade ago.

So, that means the global thermohaline circulation system is in fact currently collapsing, heat transfer flows in the worlds oceans are going to do increasingly unpredictable wild shit, which will cause increasingly unpredictable large scale weather patterns...

Oh! And because this fucks up the salinity and nutrient concentrations of uh, ocean water basically everywhere...

I guess the Dolphins will soon be boarding their ships along to 'So long and thanks for all the fish!'.

Merge them. Create the climate corps and allocate federal funding to that branch of military operation, that's how you actually get funding, and it makes sense because climate shift is a security threat as much as anything else. Also, given how shit is turning south of the border, this is the most comfortable I've ever been with more military spending. I'm just saying this doesn't have to be an either-or dichotomy.

The problem with climate is we would need to stop doing mass immigration from low emission countries which raises the cost of borrowing. We would need to cut off imports from emerging markets, so the cost of goods would rise and we would have higher interest rates, crashing our housing bubble.

We are entrenched with climate change because our borrowing cost is tied to cheap goods produced using coal by wage slaves in areas with the lowest worker rights.

They want you to use public transport but increase prices while the service degrade
