I like to point out the problem is that the US and the world has to get serious about stopping Global Warming - and the US especially is NOT making it a priority. It is hard to fix a problem when too few people are admitting a problem exists.
.........What do people think will happen NEXT summer? Likely the Gulf and Ocean waters will be at a NEW record higher, so the Hurricanes will be stronger. The Villagers will STILL mostly be driving gasoline CO2 and methane belching golf carts. Their HIRED polluting lawn cutters will be speeding around in gas trucks and they will be mowing the lawns with CO2 and methane belching GAS lawn mowers. Nothing here will change. And 80% of TV Landers will NEVER make the connection between their lawn mowing ARMY and the more intense KILLER Hurricanes each year.
We set standard in environmental protection, we set standard giving aid to world, we set standards taxing. We set standard of creating problems when have no control over. When rest do world catches up with us on environmental issues and meet our standard then we can discuss climate. Until then we are wasting money.
