At the rate we're going, I swear, if a giant meteor were to be on a collision course with planet Earth, it would be a partisan issue as to what to do in response.
Republicans would analyze the data themselves and insist the scientists are wrong and doing something about the meteor is a waste of money. Some would argue that it just makes sense to do something even if we're not sure it will hit the earth. Surely, if we do something and we were wrong and it wasn't going to hit the earth we just lose that effort. If we do nothing and it hits the earth, we lose everything.
It's the same case with climate change. The cost of doing something is inconsequential compared to the potential cost of doing nothing. It's a no-brainer.
