LOL. Sigh. Why does global warming attract this particular brand of sophistry all the time?

"President, what's your solution to the North Korean nukes?"

"Nothing to worry: the problem is self-limiting. If they start a nuclear war, billions will die, and then the survivors will be too poor to build any more nuclear weapons, so naturally there will be no more nuclear wars."

"But what about Puerto Rico? When are the aids coming?"

"The problem is self-limiting. If we do nothing, most of them will die or simply move to somewhere else, and then next time another hurricane hits there will be less people to die!"
