Fuck it, I'll bite.

I'm a monetarist. I voted for Trump because of his stance on regulation, taxation, and outsourcing. Lower taxes will kill coal. I hate to say it, but he lied to the rust belt, so he better make sure the next Elon Musk gigafactory is in Wisconsin or something. Renewables will thrive under Trump's plan, and they'll prove to be more economical than carbon fuels.

Moreover, I'm well aware that global climate change is happening at an alarming rate and is caused by humans. Where precisely is the plan to noticeably slow, let alone stop or reverse it?

That major hole in the argument for "climate change awareness" (notice it's about awareness, not actually solving the problem, just like countless other Liberal causes, BLM being a great example) is enough to make this a decent comment, but I'll go ahead and say something moderately insane next, because fuck it, class is boring today.

Global climate change will most certainly render the surface of the earth a Mad Max-y wasteland. But, on the bright side, adversity has always bred innovation. I bet that with the absence of an ozone layer, we'll work harder to cure cancer. That radical islamic terrorism will literally burn out. That space travel will finally seem important. And if you ask me, Earth is overcrowded. Oh, and if it happens, society will crumble and we can start over with a new constitution with more amendments, (like, 10X more, all worded more specifically) cause you know I love muh freedoms.

Spoken like a true college kid. Completely ignorant, but you believe you're absolutely correct.

So let me sum up your argument: Climate change is going to fuck the planet, but you believe instead of dealing with it now let the earth scorch to the point that we have global catastrophes because THEN we might do something about it. Oh, and a lot of people will die, which is a good thing to you. I'm sure that's good as long as you and your friends, family, society aren't the one who die though.

Any chance you're willing to speed up the process and kill yourself now so that you stop impeding the solutions?

Lol, funny thing about that is the latter half of my comment was supposed to be a joke. The beginning half, I think, makes a lot of sense, which is why you clearly don't have an argument against it.
