That's quite a nice list of benefits from fighting global warming:
1 energy independence
2 preserve rainforests
3 sustainability
4 green jobs
5 liviable cities (they're not quite livable, today, it seems)
6 renewables
7 clean water, air
8 healthy children, etc., etc.
Yes, what if it's a big hoax and we create a better
world FOR NOTHING. "For nothing"??
Well, not exactly for nothing. One thing really ought
to be added to that list:
9 economic collapse
