- Funds used for fighting climate change should be redirected to better causesThere is never enough money for governments and international organizations to address all of the world population’s needs. However, we are currently spending an inordinate amount of money fighting climate change while other issues are underfunded. This misdirected money needs to be reallocated to better help people suffering today.
- It’s just too expensive to stop climate changeWe are currently spending a phenomenal amount of money fighting change, without any real success. Since current research and initiatives have been ineffective, it’s pointless to keep wasting money fighting climate change. We could do any number of things with that money instead.
