I am arguing and repeating climate scientists that are talking about THIS century and really about the last 7 years when climate change has caused increasingly warmer years WORLDWIDE (caused by man). Now we are at the end of 2023 which has been RECORDED as the HOTTEST in recorded history (not geological time, but right now time). No one can deny that 2023 was the record HOTTEST year. No one, no way , no how. That is just what it is ........and we MUST live with that fact and find a SOLUTION. And a part (a subset) of the problem is all of the people scurrying northward from the equator towards and into the US. They are driven northward by the HEAT, which we all know we felt right here in TV land in the summer, which was just part of the WORLDWIDE record HEAT of 2023. Dr Vin Gupta was just on TV this morning going over the BAD HEALTH effects of the 2023 record HEAT (PLEASE GOOGLE THAT)

Also we have rapid species extinction, coral reefs dying, and glaciers in Antarctica falling into the sea. And we also have worldwide sea level RISE. No one can ignore those PROBLEMS. Doctors have found evidence of increased crime and decreased lifespan due to HEAT rise, also childhood ASTHMA.

Trivia question: Does anybody know the name of the musical that featured the song "Johnny One Note"?
