Fighting Climate Change & Science

THE LATEST REPORT on climate change, from the intergalactic panel on climate change, or whatever they call it, is dire. More dire than ever. Each one, and they come out at least once a year, is worse than the last, and it has nothing to do with a conspiracy to turn the government over to liberal democrats, or anything stupid like that. Every day, new information is gathered on climate science, new data, and every year our knowledge and understanding of it improves. That's the way science works, the beauty of science; the results it produces. Our smart phones and computers and cars and debit cards and medicine was all brought to us by science, not religion, fantasy, or pseudo science. Let that sink in, oh ye evangelical conservatives and paranormal people. The U.N. meeting on climate change, beginning today, had better produce some serious results leading to real progress...or, we're cooked, so to speak. The best way to reverse global warming, as always, is to plant a trillion trees. We could get started today, with everybody planting one, then going from there. Around the world there have recently been several impressive tree planting projects, with several countries planting millions in a single day. This proves it can be done. Homo sapiens could have a trillion new trees in the ground in less than a year. Assuming, of course, that we take all the other drastic steps necessary to save ourselves and our descendants, all well known. Our descendants will, we hope, someday laugh and marvel at our stupidity in nearly bringing all life on Earth to extinction by burning billions and billions of tons of fossil fuels, and dumping the left over carbon into the atmosphere, century, after century, without a second thought. we further hope and trust that our descendants some day soon laugh and scoff at the incredible fact that at as late as the year 2020 tens of millions of Americans continued to deny the existence of one trillion tons of carbon in the atmosphere, put there by human kind. Or maybe they accept the reality of the carbon, but deny the laws of physics and chemistry and physics by which it absorbs heat, or something like that. Whatever their thinking, its crazy, and your guess is as good as mine. It would be nice to live long enough to see climate change deniers universally ridiculed, and a trillion young trees growing, turning carbon into oxygen, cooling the Earth down, and making America great, again...
