This little bit of information should tell everyone what is happening in the Rocky Mountains, Cascades and Serra Nevada ranges, and if you really want to know the barometer of the planet just take a look at the pine trees, on what they are doing to survive they are going to higher elevation's--------------- Harper's magazine had a great piece and so did the American Prospect on climate change


And all the climate deniers say what about this little issue like the Infofe, Rubio, Trump, Huckabee, Walker, Christie, and any others in the republican clown car driving down the road going into a ditch and all the republicans sitting on there butts today on vacation in Congress-------------- again----------- and counting on a due nothing again Congress to do something, think again---------------not much----------------because remember there not scientists, and just because we just have satellites mapping the globe and telling us that this planet is in trouble, it's all a lie
