This is beyond insane, not just from a human perspective but from an economic perspective.
Meeting the challenge of climate emergency will pretty obviously invigorate the economy.
McConnell's not protecting the economy. He's stalling while his friends loot the safe.

Submerging our coastal cities, burning the West coast, scorching the bread basket, will all "clamp down on the economy"
But beyond that, the idea that spending trillions of dollars on R&D and infrastructure aimed toward a solution to a real problem will *depress* the economy?

There's a huge opportunity—an *economic* opportunity—to innovate on sustainable new energy models and modes of living.
(Also billions of humans are going to suffer and die, but, hey! People who only care about money apparently: what we're doing is economically *insane.*)

What McConnell, Trump, and the entire Republican Party are doing right now is ignoring a massive opportunity for economic innovation and growth to defend a handful of donors and a system they *know* is unsustainable.

Ah yes, our response to observable climate change will be to give trillions of dollars to climate scientists, their nefarious scam has finally paid off.
We're fighting innovation in energy/infrastructure that is absolutely going to be needed by every human being, and will keep us from losing, oh, everything.
The economic value here is practically infinite.
Those fighting it are either impossibly dumb, or are looting the safe.

What is the economic value of a habitable planet?
How would an uninhabitable planet affect YOY growth in the energy sector?
What's the economic price of letting other countries capture the future of the economy, if there is to be one?
Are economic questions I have.
