State-funded study shows the economic cost of Global Warming: BRILLIANT
There are still people who do not believe that global warming exists, or that if it does, it does not currently and/or will not have any real impact on our way of life as we know it. These people are usually those that have invested in the current way of living, either financially, or emotionally, and do not want to make changes.
Washington state has not only recognized this issue, but in addressing it realistically, has found a way to possibly convince those invested in the current system that would not listen before.
They outlined the ECONOMIC COST of global warming for the state, and showed an increase in every area of the study, beyond normal inflation.
BRILLIANT.
Money talks. Apparently even louder than 75 degrees in January in the Northeast. (you'd have to be deaf...nevermind)
