Thanks for the link. In a perfect world (that was a joke, btw) the U.S., being the largest polluter in the world and the richest) would put addressing Climate change in the Defense budget. The Pentagon does rate it the most serious threat to peace and says it's vital to National Defense (it is) huge swarths of forests around the world would be bought because Congress would/does give the Defense budget much of our multi-trillion-dollar total budget.

We have interstate highways because the military might need them. Enormous cost but needed for our national defense, so the cost is justified.

Internet? DARPA, for the military to use so the cost is justified.

Climate Emergency! As per the Pentagon. But it is an emergency, so the cost is more than justified.

As much as I despise the military/industrial/Christo-fascist complex, it should be used the way it was intended: protect the nation from all threats, foreign, and domestic.

And Climate change is a threat both foreign and domestic- the larger part being domestic.

Thanks for a new, to me at least, perspective.
