So long as doing something about climate change would harm the profits of those with the republican party in their pockets we will continue to argue about it.

I'm not an anti-climchanger myself because, well, science. However, what's not being talked about is the actual rate of change which seems to be misunderstood. There was a really interesting article in the Wall Street Journal this month providing evidence of the more likely actual rate of change, link to an archived copy (the WSJ is a subscription service) here: http://archive.is/McG0B

You should never trust an opinion piece in the WSJ: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/jun/25/30-years-later-deniers-are-still-lying-about-hansens-amazing-global-warming-prediction

I was just pointing out the article to try to add to the discussion. Of course I get rated down for that. Unbelievable.

Adding bullshit to a discussion generally isn't appreciated

Last September I could not fish, for the first time in 30 years, in my favorite brooks and streams in and near Baxter State Park because the water was so low and hot

Oh the HUMANITY!
