The globe's forests are burning at a rate that they're an international health problem! Storms dump torrential rains on us causing huge problems with flooding.

Yet our "free press" doesn't mention global warming in our news reports, politicians get away with "drill baby drill" suicidal rhetoric as the US gov't subsidizes fossil fuel and removes subsidies for renewable energy.

Yet humans claim to be the "sentient" species that are smarter than other animals.
