"The climate system is an angry beast, and we are poking it."
Dr. Wally Broecker
In regard to federal policies, I fail to see the logic. While I applaud efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, U.S. wars around the planet counter any reduction measures. Wars pump massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the biosphere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DoxBG5zdxg To really reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we should stop funding endless wars & armaments. Taxpayers' dollars should go toward communities’ resiliency and recovery from extreme weather related disasters in order to reduce the risk of civilization’s collapse. Considering what’s happening - atmospheric greenhouse gases continuing to rise; polar ice caps melting; arctic permafrost thawing; oceans becoming more acidic & warming; jet stream & ocean currents in flux; global weather patterns becoming more chaotic & extreme - this seems a more sane use of taxes.

In regard to federal policies, I fail to see the logic. While I applaud efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, U.S. wars around the planet counter any reduction measures. Wars pump massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the biosphere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DoxBG5zdxg To really reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we should stop funding endless wars & armaments. Taxpayers' dollars should go toward communities’ resiliency and recovery from extreme weather related disasters in order to reduce the risk of civilization’s collapse. Considering what’s happening - atmospheric greenhouse gases continuing to rise; polar ice caps melting; arctic permafrost thawing; oceans becoming more acidic & warming; jet stream & ocean currents in flux; global weather patterns becoming more chaotic & extreme - this seems a more sane use of taxes.
