    It's the middle of April. I wore a sweater to work yesterday, and the heat just came on in my house . . . even though we always keep the heating at only 65. I don't live in the North.

    Give me some global warming . . . or get me back to Florida.

    Ok, I've finally heard something stupider from a Congressman than how Guam Island was going to capsize and sink due to the weight of the military equipment shipped there.

    It's from Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks, which isn't a big surprise given his runaway idiocy, but even for Mo this is a good one. Rock and soil erosion into the sea is causing sea level to rise, not global warming. Seriously. This from a member of the House Science Committee.

    I’m sure the House Science Committee, regardless of which party controls the House, is where the bestest brains wind up.

    Mendocino fire overtakes previous largest fire in California history - which happened....nine months ago.

    You think about the advances in technology, firefighting etc. and the two largest fires happen in back to back years.

    The state should stop diverting water into the Pacific so there would be more to fight the fires! #MakeCaliforniaWetAgain

    These fires are the reason why people should not be ignoring the falling snowpack numbers in the mountains.

    I know it's nothing like the California wildfires, but we have had so little rain this summer that the river that runs through town is nearly dry. In the fall, it's a centuries-old salmon run, and I'm not sure there will be enough water for them to make their way up. Which will deplete salmon stocks in the lake, obviously, seeing as they're swimming upstream to give birth.

    The ripple effects of climate change, large and small, are almost impossible to count.

    The most critical factor in climate change is the one no one ever addresses - population control. No matter what steps to be more "green" societies take, they are overwhelmed by the increasing population, all of whom need more energy, transportation, water, food, manufactured products, housing etc. That is the fact that no one is willing to face, until it is on the table and included in the calculus, nothing will stop the eventual destruction of the planet.

    OK, so how do you propose we address this?
