The Black Forest Fire and other like it prove that Climate Change is no longer a mysterious scientific concept that only exists in a space beyond our every day lives. Climate change is no longer a theory in an ivory tower: folks are becoming homeless over night, and brave men and women are dying fighting fires made larger and more deadly. Unfortunately, that is only the tip of the (melting) iceberg. Climate Change has arrived in the real world, and it is casting a long shadow. Supporting our most prominent scientists and heeding their advice in the face of the powerful interests of the fossil fuel industry is necessary.
It is time to put policy ahead of politics, and time is indeed of the essence. The next time we find ourselves saying, “here we go again,” it might be too late.
Deadly Fires Show Need for Action on Global Warming | Neon Tommy
The US is having the second slowest fire season on record to date, with just over half of the normal burn acreage. There are no fires burning in Arizona or New Mexico at the current time.
Regardless of their ignorance about fires, anyone stupid enough to believe that they can influence the climate shouldn’t be discussing science anyway.
Reblogged this on The Firewall.
I’m no climate scientist, but I find the supposition that higher average temperatures globally directly correlates with more wildfires to be tenuous at best.
I don’t see the problem Steven, Neon Tommy is obviously writing on religion.
