I think you're missing his point. The temperature and weather patterns on this planet are not constant, they're constantly changing and have done so as long as the planet existed. There's nothing you and I can do about it, and adding stupid taxes and fees only make things even harder for people to cope with the inevitable climate changes that would still come if we all still lived in caves and only ate dead leaves. Earth does not care about cities, crops, religion or living things that try to survive on it because it's just a ball of molten iron with a thin crust of rock and carbon. We live on it but some day we won't.
