Denying the Obvious

THE REALITY TV DRAMA of following hurricanes across the ocean and into cities is more spellbinding than ever, with our modern electronic surveillance techniques which permit ua to get millions of accurate images and unlimited data. If you begin by accepting a fairly obvious, verifiable sciencitif fact, the constant injetion of tons of carbon into the Earth's atmosphere by humans burning fossil fuels, and then project the likely impact on the Earth's climate using data applied to the laws of nature, it becomes evident that climate change is inevitable, and real. Then, when many people actually begin to see climate change itself in the world around them, it becomes more real than ever. Climate change in the year two thousand and twenty two is unfolding precisely as has been predicted by science for years, the only surprise to scientists is the rapidity with which it is manifesting, alarmingly. It has always been stupid to refuse to accept the reality of human made climate change, now more than ever. There was a time when questioning or doubting it was fair and reasonable, but that time is gone as well, there is no longer any question about it, hasn't been for years, and anyone who refuses to accept this reality is living in a fantasy world. If climate change becomes severe enough, it can and will destroy human civilization world wide. This is why those who deny its reality are contributing to human destruction, by their inertia and inaction. This is why the so called "liberal" point of view is the correct one, and the modrn American conservative point of view is disastrously wrong. A majority of conservatives still are climate change deniers, incredibly. It can accurately and honestly be said that denial of climate change is the prevelant conservative position. Conservatives are the main reason the United States has been so disastrously slow in responding to climate change, and a large part of why the world is so far behind in this effort. Cimate change deniers are more than merely wrong; they are traitors to humanity, and to America. I was told by a tried and true Trumper, who happens to be a climate change denier, that the hurricane is proof that Biden's climate change will didn't work, and that all that money was wasted, more wasteful liberal Democrat spending. I learned, later than I should have, that there is simply no way to communicate intelligently with these people.
