Selected ‘scientists’

Sat., March 9, 2019

Here we go again. The White House is going to form a group of selected scientists to inform our citizens that climate change is not a danger to all the inhabitants, people, animals, plants and fauna of planet Earth.

We should keep in mind that this was done once before, to let us know that smoking was not injurious to our health, and now we know just the opposite is true. The extraction industries that helped finance this administration’s election will have a hand in the selection.

Wake up folks. We humans have transferred trillion of tons of carbon from the earth to the upper regions or our atmosphere in the form of CO2. It is now slowly but steadily heating it up, and the long-term danger is in reality, over time, to our detriment.
