Quotes
-
Tom : You won't do anything about it - you're doing the f - -ing opposite! You could clean up on renewables for God's sake.
Mack : Don't you understand? They like climate change! They like it! Carbon dioxide's the wind and the stars and stripes now - it's part of our foreign policy. The Himalayas melt, no show from the monsoons, drought, rice crops failing, famine in China, hundreds of thousands of people die, probably millions.
Tom : That's foreign policy?
Mack : No, this is the way they think. It's cheaper than the military - it's definitely more efficient. Political, economic, military dominance assured. God bless global warming! They're just trying to protect their interests Tom - it's their job.
Tom : Do you think America's somehow immune?
Mack : No, it's just a question of who's the last man standing.
