NOTE: Wake up, voters. It is time to turn the tables on our national response to climate change. Our house � the one we share � is on fire as David Wallace-Wells notes in NY Mag.
Republicans, contrary to your interests, are more intent on locking down their prerogatives and privileges than they are in solving the problem of what to do when none of those prerogatives and privileges can be protected because the planet that sustains us, starts crumbling.
The Republican Electeds and their funders know. They know that crop cycle failures can happen on a massive scale, and they don�t have any answer or prescriptions as the likelihood sharply rises just based on common sense observations like David Wallace-Wells�.
Principled conservatives have a choice: vote DEM this November. It is time to re-plant the yard.
How did the end of the world become old news?

There has been a lot of burning lately. Last week, wildfires broke out in the Arctic Circle, where temperatures reached almost 90 degrees; they are still roiling northern Sweden, 21 of them. And this week, wildfires swept through the Greek seaside, outside Athens, killing at least 80 and hospitalizing almost 200. At one resort, dozens of guests tried to escape the flames by descending a narrow stone staircase into the Aegean, only to be engulfed along the way, dying literally in each other�s arms.
