Real Climate Science

And yes, my plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet – because climate change is not a hoax.  More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke.  They’re a threat to our children’s future.  And in this election, you can do something about it.

There isn’t one shred of evidence that droughts, floods or wildfires have increased. What kind of person would say something like that? There also isn’t one shred of evidence that American voters can change the number of droughts and floods and wildfires.

Had Roosevelt claimed that he could control the dust bowl drought, he would have been locked up in a loony bin.

Throw the bum out. He is a complete fraud.

1. CO2 makes it too warm for snow
2. CO2 makes Greenland melt, which causes the Gulf Stream to collapse, which causes heavy snow
3. CO2 has caused the demise of the ski industry
4. CO2 caused the heavy snows, because CO2 makes everything more extreme
5. CO2 caused the lack of snow. It will only get worse
6. CO2 caused the Arctic to melt, which produces more heavy snow
7. CO2 causes a lack of snow, because CO2 makes everything more extreme
8. CO2 causes more snow, because it can’t snow when the weather is too cold
9. You are an anti-science flat-earther if you don’t believe all of the above.

Last week, two family friends suffered horrible tragedies.

A middle school friend of my kids was killed in a car wreck on I-25 in Wyoming, and another friend (one of the best people I know) broke his neck mountain biking west of Boulder. He is not likely to ever regain the use of his limbs.

Both accidents were avoidable. The driver was angry at his mother, and the cyclist was on a rough trail too late in the evening. Life can change in an instant.

Here is another mountain tragedy from 2009, which changed the life of someone else on this blog.

Planet to be destroyed after Obama gets voted out in eight weeks.

Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That is the stark assessment of Nasa scientist and leading climate expert Jim Hansen who last week warned only urgent action by the new president could halt the devastating climate change that now threatens Earth. Crucially, that action will have to be taken within Obama’s first administration, he added
