I heard this impassioned but simple explanation of Climate Change from a U.S. Senator, over the week-end:
Ali Velshi: "[Is it important ...] for people like the Mayor, like you, who do believe in Climate Change, to make this an important discussion -- Florida remains ground zero for rising sea levels."
Senator Bill Nelson: "Absolutely. And the Measurements -- not Forecasts -- show that up to eight inches in South Florida over the last four decades, but as the Earth heats up because of trapping the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, the Earth will continue to heat up, and that heat is absorbed by the oceans. And when water is heated, what happens? -- It expands.
And that’s the phenomenon of sea level rise. And that's particularly happening in South Florida."
Or to paraphrase what others have said, in other contexts:
It’s the Measurements, stupid!

It’s truly a sad commentary, that only Breitbart has appeared to cover the Nelson footage — and that apparently for purpose of “slamming liberals”.
Ali Velshi retweeted:
I can only find the clip of the Bill Nelson’s explanation of Climate Change, on the Brietbart story (linked in the tweet). Choose to watch, at your own discretion.
