It's BEEN getting warmer...we can't stop it...we're probably not helping...but this is just a profit making scheme. |
Twenty storms causing a billion dollars or more in damage have taken place since 2010, not including Hurricane Harvey, compared with nine billion-dollar floods in the full decade of the 1980s. Folks, nature is telling us something. How many "100-year" storms or "1,000-year" floods will it take for us to listen? Humans have boosted the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by a shocking 40 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when we started burning fossil fuels on a large scale.
