Where to begin?

Wild fires in Colorado
Drought affecting more than 2/3rds of the nation
Heat records falling daily
A freak storm leaving chaos in its wake from Chicago to DC

And what did I hear? 4% of M$M mentioned climate change in relation to these "weather disaster" stories.

I made the mistake of reading the comments following JK's editorial. I have no idea any more of how to fight willfully stupid.

In North Carolina, the Republican legislature has made it illegal to talk about rising ocean levels. I guess if you don't talk about it, the Outer Banks will be JUST FINE.

a calculated campaign of disinformation has steadily beaten back the momentum for action on climate change.


Yep. When will the folks funding the disinformation "get" that we are ALL in this together? I share the Senator's frustration on this. Every time we have freak cold or a freak snowstorm, I hear, "Huh. Like I'm supposed to believe in global warming." I always pollitely respond that the appropriate term SHOULD be global "weirding" because climate change results in all sorts of weather extremes.
