    The billionares who are the only ones left to afford space exploration are spending $100 miliion to find a planet that might support life.

    The most comprhensive advance search tittled “Breakthrough Listen”.

    The good news so far is they might have found a planet that supports life ?

    The bad news is that the planet is 1500 light years away.

        why?

    Fossil fuel fallout pollutes the atmosphere for 40 years. Buh bye FL and the Eastern U.S. unless we keep doubling down on non polluting renewable Energy production forever.

    “Antarctica is so big that when we talk about this one-meter rise in sea level as very likely by the end of this century,” Bindschlader said, “that actually is just a 1% reduction, or a 1.5% reduction, in the size of the ice sheet.”

      That’s one of the things that get’s me about climate denial in the FL government – when the ice sheets melt, FL will be that sandbar off the coast of Georgia.

    the wealthy of this world think they, with all their money, power, and influence, will be able to avoid the calamity called Climate change….they will not be able to hide from it for long…Mother Nature does not care about your bank account when She drops a tree on your butt while visiting your money…or drowns your offshore bank account, Bank and All…this should be the clarion call to over throw the corporate power structure that is currently controlling our republican congress…Elections will matter more and more, as the climate grows worse and the wealthy grows nervous…the Koch Brothers are a large part of the problem we have in this nation…they own political influence that should belong to us…they are an Enemy of this nation…

      the cock brothers are the enemy of human kind, not just a bunch of americans who, as a people, seem not to do much other than blog.

    Climate deniers are looking more foolish and fewer with every passing season.
    However, there are many well funded climate change deniers occupying influential positions.
    We need to vote like our life depends on it…..because it does!

    The right wing has no problem believing in talking snakes, water into wine and a pair of penguins who walked to the middle east to get on an ark….but mention climate change and it’s all hocus pocus to them.
