2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumClimate Change is definitely our biggest crisis.
We shouldn't be so short sighted.
As an anecdote, I want to mention that I experienced the warmest Christmas I've ever experienced this past year. I was sweating on Christmas Day in North Carolina. What the hell?
It's depressing hearing all those Christmas songs on the radio about white Christmas's filled with snow, and bundling up with your loved ones because it's so cold outside... All while hearing this, my wife and I drove by a church that had set up a sledding event outside. It was a warm day. But they had a snowblower and a manufactured sledding hill. And as their children climbed the hill and sledded down gleefully, I noticed the parents were all in T-shirts and shorts.
On Christmas Eve, people were standing outside in t-shirts and shorts.
Now, it may seem kind of stupid, this observation, but honestly, aren't our songs of the past a record of our past? Why would Christmas songs ALL BE TALKING ABOUT SNOW if snow wasn't such a common occurrence around that time? Clearly, things have changed. I feel that this is pretty good evidence of climate change as well.
I think my last "white Christmas" was was 11 years ago. Ugh. It's really disheartening to see that.
But we need a president that will take Climate Change very seriously.
If we go after ISIS, there won't really be much of an Earth to fight for in the end.
Situations like ISIS and other organizations occur BECAUSE of climate change's effects on the environment. Droughts and other issues led to these people becoming as desperate as they've become.
It is really this simple...
Vote for fighting Climate Change, vote for Bernie Sanders.
