Republican Gets Excited About Future Climate Disasters
In a recent interview, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson expressed his excitement about the potential for future climate disasters. Johnson, a Republican, said that he believes climate change could be good for the United States because people don't like being cold.
Johnson's comments were made during an interview with energy policy expert Michael Greenstone. Greenstone was testifying before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources about the economic costs of climate change.
During the hearing, Johnson asked Greenstone if he believed that climate change could have any positive effects. Greenstone responded that climate change could have some positive effects, such as increased agricultural productivity in some regions.
However, Greenstone also noted that the negative effects of climate change would far outweigh any potential benefits. He said that climate change could lead to more extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. These events could cause billions of dollars in damage and displace millions of people.
Johnson, however, seemed unconcerned about the potential dangers of climate change. He said that he believes that people will be able to adapt to the changes that climate change brings. He also said that he believes that climate change could actually be good for the United States because people don't like being cold.
Johnson's comments were met with widespread criticism from scientists and environmental groups. They accused Johnson of putting the interests of the fossil fuel industry ahead of the health and safety of the American people.
Johnson's comments are a reminder of the dangerous and irresponsible attitude that many Republicans have towards climate change. They are willing to ignore the overwhelming scientific evidence that climate change is a real and serious threat in order to protect the profits of the fossil fuel industry.
