A new report warns of a high price tag on the impacts of global climate change, from storm damage to health costs. But solutions can provide better value, the authors say.<\/p>\n
Burning fossil fuel not only impairs the public health, it also aggravates bad weather. Between hurricanes and forest fires, the cost is rising exponentially.<\/p>\n
Although estimates vary, the \u201cout of pocket\u201d costs are many billions of dollars per year. Those people that say that reducing the cost of fossil fuels is too expensive are wrong on 3 counts,
\n1. The cost of renewable energy is falling rapidly.
\n2. Renewable energy is an investment, not a cost.
\n3. This investment is beginning to pay off rapidly.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s quit denying the obvious and return to cleaning up our planet. It is the only one we have.<\/p>\n
You can help us reduce disease and the damage from climate change by using Renewable Energy products.\u00a0Use God\u2019s Gift of free sunshine to produce your gift of clean air and clean water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
