Why can’t I be President and Order Everyone to Fix Global Warming? – It’s Just A Game.
Politicians can’t effectively handle threats that have a long planning horizon. Any attempt to address a very scary possibility will result in the politician being voted out of office as a wing-nut that isn’t paying attention to more immediate problems.

What do you mean the Gulf Stream stopped?
Did Poseidon just put a trident in front of it? Wouldn’t the water just go around the prongs? I said no discussion of the premise and already you’re asking how the Gulf Stream stopped. The short answer is that fresh water from the melting of the Arctic ice cap and Greenland ice sheet dilute hot…
