    “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make”

    Why do we only seem to get the bad outlandish things from books and movies? :/

      Honestly, aggressive climate change would have a similar short-term impact, even if the net result is good, which is a large part of the reason we don’t do aggressive changes like this.

      That said, I’m not convinced the net result is good, so we’ll instead have short-term suffering followed by longer-term suffering, all for a bit of protectionism for American businesses (which will probably leave them worse off in the long run anyway).
