We’re not talking just about climate change, we’re talking about the rapidity of the change and/or lack of response to the change. This is not a liberal conspiracy; it’s scientific fact. The Pentagon (notorious left wingers) just released its own study that identifies climate change as the No. 1 threat to national security. What usurpation of legislative powers has Obama committed or said he will commit in relation to climate change? A specific piece of evidence here would be nice, but it’s much easier to refute propaganda than facts, so thank you. Climate-change deniers can continue to bury their heads in the sand, consume as many resources as possible, and leave the world a much more difficult place for our children and grandchildren or they can open their eyes to the facts and evidence and at least try find solutions. If you need more evidence of climate change and rising temperatures, just look at the window at how little snow is in the mountains from year to year. There is less of it, and it melts much faster. We can either change and adapt, or collapse like the ancestral Puebloans and Romans.
