Politicians speaking hot lies.

Which are exempt from false advertising law!
Those of you in denial that weather patterns are changing--esp. those talking 'natural variability,' miss the point.
Well such changes are certain to be partially human activity, the danger exists regardless of cause.
Humans deforested what is now Iraq, Lebanon, North Africa, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, N.A. Mississippi river to Pennsylvania and much of the Amazon basin. Fact. These in and of themselves contributed to major changes in weather patterns, other similar removal of vegetation around the world also contributes.
Regardless of cause, weather patterns are changing, and changing significantly more rapidly and violently than historically. Much of this is in the Equatorial Zone, where a huge percentage of humans live, and a large amount of food is grown.
Which would you rather do: die while saying 'it's not my fault!' or trying to make things better?
Many times in the past people have discovered the hard way that money and wealth are poor replacements for air, water and food.
