I have no way of knowing how many southern Californians are on DK, but this is for you.
The Republican-led assault on reality and science, especially climate science is rapidly become a highway to the disaster zone…and clear out the other side! We here in SoCal have had a major drought, & we’re not entirely over it yet. Farmers in the south are having crops endangered by heat in summer & flood in winter. I have dear ones up north muttering about frozen-chosen, and others in the Pacific seeing the ocean come into places it never has before.
Even allowing for the periodic precession of the earth’s axis, the climate change we are now seeing is obviously being greatly exacerbated by human activity, particularly the use of fossil fuels since the late 1700s. While we cannot stop the earth’s movements, we most assuredly CAN stop making the problem worse! There are many actions, large & small, that we can take as individuals, but we will have the most impact by taking actions that are in groups large enough to demand notice & acknowledgement by government and social leaders.
