Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire FIRE FIRE No Mention Of Climate Change - Criminal Media

Not one peep about climate change yesterday or today in all the news I watched.

400 billion in hurricane damage from 4 category 5's and a Gulf 2 to 7 degrees warmer than normal.

California on fire, Canada on fire, California on fire again, plus all the regular yearly worsening normal forest fires.

Not one mention about climate change by the media in the last 2 days I saw.

Rarely mentioned this summer while we had all the fires and hurricanes.

What does Exxon have over the media? Pee pee tapes?

Is it the cash from "energy voter" ads?

We are dying from wind, floods, fires and no one in the media is talking about THE CAUSE.

Rec if you think .... maybe.... they could mention GLOBAL WARMING once in a while.

They have a display that shows the changing ocean conditions.

A recording lists the reasons. One was "possible climate change."

Very politically correct

Some very interesting data collected in the "Year in Climate" from today's NY Times. All is well, all is well. Just keep telling yourself that and the monster will go away.

I am concerned about others in the LA region though. This could destroy most of Southern California and LA county.

is that climate change is a communist plot by Red China to weaken us on trade (and he pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accords), and the stance from Bush Jr. was climate change was a big con by liberal college professors to keep those sweet sweet research grants flowing, it's no surprise that few Americans take environmental issues seriously...
