Climate Change does not care about either Parties excuses. It’s here to stay.

For years Republicans’ position on Climate Change has been denial that it is happening.

Some have moved to the Democratic position, sure, it’s happening, but we can’t do anything right now because of business interests.

Whether it’s pure ignorance or worrying about the next election, short economic ups and downs, either way, leads to death.

Both conclusions lead to the same death: wild Fires, Shrinking Lakes and rivers, Horrific air, and new diseases. They have felt the full brunt in the West for about a decade and a half now. Most of California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are in the severest level of drought.

Businesses like Exxon and BP have known this at least since the 60s that they were causing this. Tobacco companies have litigated and sometimes in prison or causing death to people who tried to expose them. One hundred companies create 71% CO2 in our world. The only way to prevent this catastrophe (which may be too late) is to face those companies head-on. The only entity that can do that is Federal Government. But, unfortunately, Business wants Business to continue as is, which is death.

Obama and Biden’s Corporate Moderation is death.

W and Trump’s Corporate Denialism is death, maybe faster.

The Great Salt Lake is shrinking. Upper Colorado is out of the water, and Yosemite is on fire. Texas and the great plains are where the West was about 15 years. It will happen here, too, just probably faster than fifteen years.

People screaming from the rooftops about climate change were not overestimating. They were underestimating. Cable News, Political Grifters on Podcasts/Videos, and fun words like Moderate and Compromise all have led us to death.

But, unfortunately, it’s going to get much worst unless we take on the Exxon and BPs of the world. After that, it may be too late, but if not, it will be soon.

It does not matter what old dead European 19th-century philosopher you believe in. Climate Change does not care. It does not care that you are afraid of things and vote for people protecting these industries. It won’t check on high school swimming or what books about your history you remove. It does not care that you complain every ten years about gas prices but won’t give up your gasoline. Climate Change is here, and this summer is the Prologue, not the Climax. It will get worst.
