India.

And as far as countries like Nigeria, I propose that the developed world
begins to enact sanctions against reckless polluters to incentivize social
nation state behavior.

I think that we will find, just as transnational oil companies have found,
that the governments of countries like Nigeria are easily swayed by outside
money.

And this idea that controlling carbon will slow economic growth is ludicrous.

What do you think having NYC and Miami flooded will do to growth? What about
100 million refugees from Bangladesh. Look at the problem of Syrian refugees
for Europe.

We did one thing right, and we got solar pv cheap just in the nick of time.

It's very disappointing this isn't a major story (outside the remaining
climate denial outlets, such as Fox/Murdoch/WSJ). I don't recall seeing it
covered in the NY Times, for example. Perhaps I overlooked it, but it should

What would be the story? Climate change is real? I think that is pretty well
understood by most of the NY Times readers. The story is now "This week in
Apocolpyse Forecasting." Two things make this challenging, one is that the
highest/lowest/largest/smallest in recorded history is like 150 - 200 years
usually, and folks know that in human history at least people were living near
gaciers and munching on Mammoth and Sabertooth. So clearly there are
temperatures that are both "previously experienced by humans" and "not part of
the recorded human record".

I think climate change news now that would get coverage would be actions being
taken (as opposed to observations being made). What actions will Texas take
after this season to mitigate the risk of flooding? What actions will
California take to insure reliable water sources across both
