Comment on Coalition says cuts to climate, housing and more would save $31b

Can’t save anything by cutting climate funding. It is by far the most important issue facing the world. Even if ‘cost of living’ is consider the biggest problem, climate change raising insurance costs is very expensive to everyone, and that’s just one of the many indirect problems we’re facing.

And thing is, a lot of spending for climate related stuff has direct benefits even aside from the climate problems - such as improving energy security, improving air quality and health; and in some cases even creating direct financial profits even aside from all the physical benefits.

So yeah, cutting climate funding is a losing strategy. No one should vote for a party that wants to do that.
