Not much about climate change makes me giggle, but this did, because it's sooo ridiculous. If there's any branch of government that really needs to understand climate change, it's USCG, and now they won't even mention it.

People seem to react very poorly any time it is mentioned that exponential growth is bad, no matter what is doing the growing. The economy, the population, debt, cash reserves, disease, or anything else.
Exponential growth doesn't happen often in nature, but when it does, it is indicative of a severe imbalance and will shortly rectify itself. Often quite violently.
Suggesting that we should try to reign in the exponential growth that we have going on in many sectors of our society before nature does it for us is met with rage and accusations of desiring genocide or mass death.
To these people I would say, we will see mass death and chaos if we do nothing, but if we do something to actually prevent that, we will very likely see the same thing on a smaller scale because undoing that growth IS THE SOLUTION.
