I was surprised by the wildfires in California. I had thought that there was nothing left to burn.
More frequent droughts, caused by a natural phenomenon that we’re not supposed to talk about for fear of offending he who must be humored, have made tinderboxes out our western forests and threaten to turn midwestern farms back into a dust bowl.
Back East we’ve had record rainfall over the past decade and even hurricanes well beyond the end of hurricane season which is supposed to be November 1st. Ask the people on the Gulf Coast who are probably still doing the backstroke if they agree.
How many billions of dollars do we have to spend to mitigate these disasters not to mention the loss of human life?
Paying attention to the environment has a negative impact on the economy. Human lives and livelihoods are not a concern of the GOP – $$$ is the only thing they understand.
Mother Nature is only going to take so much before she’s had enough and turns on us.
