Climate change affects everybody. It doesn't care if you're black or white, rich or poor, male or female. Climate change affects everybody, and the notion that we can ignore it is just foolhardy. We are talking about the fate of our planet.
We're seeing global temperatures rise at an alarming rate. We're seeing the world's oceans warming at an alarming rate. We're seeing a growing number of climate refugees even though that term isn't yet broadly recognized in international law whether they are on the South Pacific island of Kiribati, on the North slopes of Alaska or in the Sahara. We have farmers dealing with changing soil and growing conditions. We have folks who are running out of clean running water because of drought.
There's not one part of the globe that's not being affected by this. Both on a national level and on a global level, there's nothing more pressing.
The average person understands this; the average person knows that there's something going on. And, the average American is looking for more leadership from elected officials on the federal level. In frustration, they're turning to their state and local officials, and saying, We want action. And so states and local governments are picking up the slack and enacting local and statewide ordinances to combat climate change.
I am optimistic carefully optimistic that we can make changes. Part of that is because I have found people to be receptive, when they have an open mind and don't come to these issues from an ideological viewpoint, that it can't be happening.

Lighten up. Don’t panic. Be cool. Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Cool your jets. Keep your powder dry. Hold your horses. Keep your shirt on. Keep your pants on. Don’t get ahead of yourself. Don’t go off half-cocked. Look before you leap. It’s not over until it’s over.
You skipped ebonics class.
Al Roquefort used to eat entire bakeries in one sitting.
Al was better when he was fat and a total weather sidekick simpleton.
No one seems to know how to answer when I ask them what are we going to do to change global temperatures? I want specific steps, not general reduce carbon footprint claptrap. I always get blank stares when I ask What climate model do you use to get your info?
All I see staring me in the face is a bunch of lies told by a bunch of people who are worried that their financial gravy train is in serious jeopardy of pulling into the station and disgorging its passengers.
Call me when Miami is underwater. Al Gore—that saintly winner of the Nobel Peace Prize —said Miami would be under water by 2000. Has the sea risen? 1/4 of an inch in all that time. We have other problems to fix that are really pressing.
Lighten up. Dont panic. Be cool. Dont get your panties in a bunch. Cool your jets. Keep your powder dry. Hold your horses. Keep your shirt on. Keep your pants on. Dont get ahead of yourself. Dont go off half-cocked. Look before you leap. Its not over until its over.

After 50 years of failed apocalyptic predictions and NOAA’s criminal statistical manipulations, I’ll get worried when I see the Statue of Liberty standing on her tippy toes holding the torch above the water.
No, Joker, it’s not affecting me.

Curses, foiled again. By the way, climate change is causing snow showers around Lake Tahoe and vicinity today.
I always listen to entertainer wannabes advice on understanding things based on physics & mathematics!
Im not against environmentalism per se. Im just against these climate clowns trying to control the economy and my personal decisions.
