Not 'Alternative' Facts

[Andy Brown]

1. 2016 was the hottest year on record
2. Ocean water acidity has increased 30% since the Industrial Revolution.
3. Global sea level has risen by 6.7 inches in the last century.
4. Arctic sea ice is declining at a rate of 13.3% per decade.
5. You now live in a country where the government no longer accepts these facts or believes that human behaviors contribute to any of these measurable irrefutable observations.

The good news is that although California, Oregon and Washington are at risk, it pales in comparison to the devastation headed towards the red states of the South.

The inability to simply acknowledge indisputable scientific fact is criminal.

We can have reasonable disagreements about what can or should be done about an issue, but to simply deny facts when they do not conform to your ideologically derived opinion is grossly irresponsible lunacy.

OH, I’m sure you were well aware already, Andy, but for those who may not be:

The hottest year on record before 2016?

2015.

The hottest year on record before 2015?

2014.

Notice a pattern?

We’re on the cusp of there being no sea ice at the north pole during summer. Which will further accelerate global warming.

Ah, but what do science denying Republicans care? It’s not as if you have kids or grand kids or that they’ll have to live on this planet once your’e gone or anything.

[skeptical]

If they do have kids or grandkids, those kids are not talking to them.

I’d like to drop off a dead polar bear on their front lawns.

Ignorant, selfish, dildos. One n’ all.
