Let’s get a grip on reality here, shall we !
What good have all of those politicians done who do know climate change is real?
Zip !
The Pentagon knows climate change is man made and a clear and present danger - what Trump thinks is almost irrelevant.
Nature bats last in this game.
And I agree with the comment in the article that we, we being the people of the world, have all the tools and info needed to turn things around - with or without Exxon, the Koch Brothers, or Donald Trump.
Look - the USA was severely wounded back in 1963 - and the wounds have been suppurating ever since.
Today the animal, in pain and in rage, has turned on its own wounds and ripped them open, allowing the blood and pus and poison to erupt onto the surface, for all the world to see, and in the instinctual hope that with these internal poisons now leaving the body, all will be well.
But the outcome is still unclear - the animal may yet die.
The difference today is that were this wound not ripped open - death was a certainty.
The Republicans have never pretended to be other than what they are - conservative and fearful people.
The Democrats, since perhaps the time just after Jimmy Carter - ceased evolving - to all intents and purposes died as a party of the less fearful people - and I say - may they go away and stay away.
It is time for a new party.
Sanders was handed the Green Party on a silver platter by Jill Stein, and had not the balls to take it.
Out with all of them.
In with the new.
