Environment & Energy

When we were transferred here we averaged 24 days over 100°, now 35 years later we average 90-100 days over 100°. It is not fit for man or beast.

I live in the country and have Longhorn steers to keep my Ag exemption. For those that live in the city in a box they worry more about the AC and power in Texas staying on and if the weather is good for the weekend. Climate Change is not top of their concerns or many view it as a "act of god" so just accept it. Add to that the fact that Texas employed hundreds of thousands in the fossil fuel industry so their ideology is tied directly to their jobs.
I do hear several young people in college fighting for their future but in many case once they are employed that seems to diminish.

I too am very skeptical, in fact just judging from the last 3 decades alone, I see nothing but retorhic from our elected officals. I admit we are making progress but nothing that will be significant enough to change the situation. We are much more concerned with issues that directly affect our contemporary lives and unless technology can actually affect this tragetary the future we more than likely are in for a rough ride.

Sorry for the long post but I think this issue should be our primary focus along with geopolitical issues.
