(2,397 posts)5. Nothing will change until one or two of the climate deniers
is hit in the face with it.
At least thats my prediction. Who was the Senator/Congress critter who's son developed some disease (AIDS?) several years ago (90's) then went on as a spokesperson.
Thats seems to be only way to wake em up is when it hits their own family. But who knows. Stranger things have happened.
Just the fact no action is happening to slow climate change is a scary thought.
