Agelbert NOTE: This is just a snippet of an excellent heads up for lovers of a healthy climate and our democratic right to defend it from the polluters. Please read the article when you get a chance. The Republicans (and some bought and paid for Democrats too) are busy, busy, busy trying to cement in place their fossil fuel fascist wet dream. Don’t let them.
Utility CEOs Try to Rob Shareholders of Rights to Express Climate Concerns

Group Flush With Fossil Fuel and Utility CEOs Led Call for Language
A group of CEOs which often lobbies for policies that support the fossil fuel industry, the Business Roundtable, has led the effort to insert the language restricting shareholders' rights. The group sent a letter to Trump economic advisor Gary Cohn advocating for the changes. The letter also called for delaying the EPA's rules to protect people from harmful ozone pollution, called for an overhaul of the Clean Power Plan, and called for the complete reversal of the Waters of the US rule to prevent pollution of streams, rivers and lakes. Those are all positions that other utility industry trade groups have fought, while individual utilities have sought to avoid the publicity of attacking popular anti-pollution rules.

Agelbert NOTE: Why do the fossil fuelers never grow tired of avoiding responsibility and accepting their liability? Why do they keep doubling down on fossil fuels instead of transitioning rapidly to Renewable Energy (they have had the Capital to do that, in less than a decade, for at least 25 years!) ?

But the basis of their 'greed is IT' loyalty to polluting practices suicidal rationale is found in their fascist ideology/religion:
VERY bad environmental damage is coming our way, FAR BEYOND what we have already experienced, if we do not stop these suicidal profit over planet crazies.
If you want to help pass on the urgent need to counteract predicted Catastrophic Climate Change to readers who don't want to wade through a scientific paper, this video will give them a pretty clear picture of what we are up against:
An Ocean Full of 30 meter Tall Waves
by Paul Beckwith
Published on Jul 23, 2015
"Near the end of the previous warm period (Late-Eemian) when the sea level was +5 to +9 meters higher than today, persistent long period long wavelength waves 30 meters high battered the Bahamas coastline. Will we see these massive storm generated waves soon? No ship could survive this..."
I will discuss the above in PART THREE of Climate Change, Blue Water Cargo Shipping and Predicted Ocean Wave Activity. It will be published next Sunday.
