The US government didn’t put a price tag on how much it was willing to pay to defeat Hitler, and it shouldn’t put a price tag on how much it’s willing to pay to mitigate climate change. Money should not be the determining factor in defeating an existential threat.

Money is antiquated

Normal cyclic weather changes.

It’s certainly not a factor when they bomb the hell out of other countres

And the first step seems super simple...stop spending money on things that *exacerbate* climate change...and just stop supporting corporations that actively lobby to further wreck the planet. It costs NOTHING to just stop making things worse.

The US government cannot effectively mitigate climate change. If the politicians shrug off their donors, we elect all the absolutely right people all the way across the board, and they stay faithful and work hard, the US government STILL can't effectively mitigate climate change

(reposting) Just as the Nazis learned techniques of oppression from the US, climate change also has roots in our economic system: roots that will pervade until they are uprooted.

The USSR defeated Hitler, not the US. Do better.

As with Hitler, the price tag will disappear once climate change is a threat to the capitalist order and there's nowhere left for the rich to run to.

Maybe we should ask Hugo Boss to make some villainous branding for the climate crisis
