I ran across this great cartoon today and it reminded me of a debate I recently had in a community forum for my small town. I am pretty much the ONLY person in this town who is concerned about the climate crisis. I asked a few of the other members, who were claiming that global warming is an elaborate hoax if they could give me one single solitary reason why we should not plan for the worst case scenario and clean up our environmental act anyway. The best they could come up with is that other … [Read more...]
