11. It's difficult to talk about climate change

Sun Oct 9, 2022, 01:46 PM

Oct 2022

I live in an area that is being severely impacted by it as well. Some areas will be able to adapt, especially if they're able to build smart public/private partnerships. Others, particularly in red areas where they won't accept reality, are probably doomed. Yet others will be doomed just by the realities of nature. I think this is especially true of ones severely affected by water scarcity and sea level rise.

Anyway, I appreciate where you are coming from and I so fervently wish we could get rid of your governor and get a little blue momentum going again.
