Last, Best Chance to Fight Climate Change

Amazingly, Trump wanted to lower any emission standards and ramp up the use of pollution causing fossil fuels. His brain dead followers cheered, like they always do.

But that idiot is gone, and there are Republicans who actually are concerned about climate change, and now we have a President to lead the way.



The Earth’s climate has always been a work in progress. In the 4.5 billion years the planet has been spinning around the sun, ice ages have come and gone, interrupted by epochs of intense heat. The highest mountain range in Texas was once an underwater reef. Camels wandered in evergreen forests in the Arctic. Then a few million years later, 400 feet of ice formed over what is now New York City. But amid this geologic mayhem, humans have gotten lucky. For the past 10,000 years, virtually the entire stretch of human civilization, people have lived in what scientists call “a Goldilocks climate” — not too hot, not too cold, just right.

Now, our luck is running out. The industrialized nations of the world are dumping 34 billion tons or so of carbon into the atmosphere every year, which is roughly 10 times faster than Mother Nature ever did on her own, even during past mass extinction events. As a result, global temperatures have risen 1.2 C since we began burning coal, and the past seven years have been the warmest seven years on record. The Earth’s temperature is rising faster today than at any time since the end of the last ice age, 11,300 years ago. We are pushing ourselves out of a Goldilocks climate and into something entirely different — quite literally, a different world than humans have ever lived in before.


Here's the problem.....

Few concur about the climate "emergency". Most "a little concerned"

If they really cared, Congress would do something. For 20 years they could not possibly be any less interested.

Government by they people...they don't care about climate change :bye1: :bye1:
