Ostriches on Parade!

It's ostriches on parade!

They're loud!

They're proud!

And if you try to talk to them about global warming...

They'll bury their head deep in the sand!

Yeah.  Like that.

If you look at the Climate Panel Trump is assembling, which is a who's who of climate deniers and industry hacks, and think that's swell, you have no idea as to the magnitude of what's going on.  It's one thing to not believe climate change is as real as it is, it's another to go galloping off in a direction that accelerates and makes it worse.

If you look at the Green New Deal (which is just a group designed to seriously look at the issue and figure out ways to do it that leave us ALL economically stronger) and instead of endorsing, you gleefully spread falsehoods about how it will get rid of cars, planes, buildings, and cows, you are not only not understanding the gravity of what we're facing, but you are also, please forgive me, bone stupid and ignorant.  Or willfully misleading, as it is more important for you to make your point, truth be dammed.

If you look at advocates of doing something about global warming, and you think you're clever by condemning them for driving cars or flying in planes, or whatever, YOU'RE NOT.  It's no longer about individual choices, although it's good to be as responsible as you can be, it's now about decisions whole societies and nations make.  We live in a world designed one way, and hermit-like withdrawal from the world solves nothing.  As long as the Conman-in-chief is clutching coal, oil, and gas, nothing an individual does is going to stop the worst from happening.

If your first reaction to doing something is to say - other countries aren't doing enough, why should we? - that tells me you don't really believe the issue is important to begin with.   If you felt it was real, you would not be forming excuses, but you would want to be all hands on deck.  You would encourage America to lead the way in the greening of the planet.  And if you were serious about world cooperation, you would have never cheered on Captain Bone Spurs when he pulled us out of the Paris Accords.

This is not a post to convince you that global warming is real.  I wish I had the time and writing skills to do that.  But here's the truth if I were to try  - YOU WOULD TUNE IT OUT.  Your head would not leave the sand until I was done, and then you would emerge, cracking jokes and ill-witticisms, demonstrating that you had not listened at all.

The evidence is all around you.  The scientific articles are there, and more dire every day.

Stop the parade of ignorance and derision.  This is no longer a right or left issue.  It is an issue of human survival.  We need your help and support NOW.
