Let's get creative by addressing the root cause instead of the symptoms ey bloomberg? It in the title yo. Instead of "getting creative" by reacting to every new unlivable reaction the planet has to our attacks how bout "getting creative" by trying the shit we know will work?

I'd love to break down this stupid authors bullshit line by ridiculous line, but bloomberg hides its yeah behind a wall so ill just *guess* that this tool is moving blithely to the propaganda stage wherein: global warming is real and *also* inevitable so we need to deal with that instead of *ever* cutting emissions.

Am i close, bloomberg author? Ya hackoff?

The article is posted with a gift link, so you should be able to read it instead of guessing.

This particular writer has a history of both calling for a fossil fuels phae-out and dealing with the adverse consequences we've already created

Thanks, missed that. Ill try again op

The best thing we can do is limit future global heating by curbing greenhouse-gas emissions.

he did it! He said the thing! Ah, i feel a tiny bit better.

For that reason, developers need to stop building in the wildlife-urban interface where these blazes turn deadly and costly. And public officials need to stop subsidizing further disasters by offering relief funds to rebuild in fire zones and artificially suppressing insurance rates, thus preventing the market from pricing people into safer areas.

Hmm, this is his opinion? This is creativity? I don't feel good anymore.

Yeah, I'm right back to "useful idiot" at best (author, not op). There's no creativity here, and nothing for poor people, (most of us) at *all*. Then again, it's a bloomberg opinion so that's expected.

Thanks op for the link and the post

Well, if we can nuke hurricanes, then I see no reason on why we shouldn’t be able to nuke the Firenadoes.
