    in 2029, when millions more are dying… climate refugees are overwhelming the shores… crops are failing… tropical insects are migrating north, 28 billion will seem like a great bargain… but then it’ll cost trillions

        They mean it would cost more because the problem has become bigger and more complicated because it wasn’t addressed early

          Yes, that part was obvious.

        the price of prevention is more than the cost of a cure….
        you’re awfully dense… maybe try a little harder to understand things that you don’t understand before responding with your ignorance.
