COMMENT: Understand the difference between Climate Change (Global Warming) and weather. Weather is what is happening now, in you own back yard. Global Warming, the key word is 'global,' which means the entire atmosphere of the Earth. Anyone familiar with boiling water, know that a 1qt pan can heat to a rolling-boil in a few minutes, but a 4qrt pan will take many minutes (if at all depend on you stove). It takes much more energy (heat) to boil a large quantity of water, now think about that and the entire atmosphere of the Earth. So a sustained rise in global temperature of 1º+ is significant, and in terms of global history may lead to an Ice Age.
SUMMARY: Although a candidate just entered the 2020 presidential race with a platform centered on climate change, some experts say Americans aren’t fully aware of the scope and seriousness of global warming. Among them is David Wallace-Wells, who argues in a new book that the severity of the climate crisis has not yet been acknowledged, let alone addressed. He sits down with William Brangham to discuss.
I am Retired U.S. Navy (22yrs) and a Vietnam Veteran. After my Navy retirement I was in the computer related industry, now retired. In 2000 I was a registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush. Six months of having Bush in the Whitehouse forced me to re-evaluate my political stance. I had always thought of myself as a Moderate Republican, but was a Republican by "default" NOT because of close examination of the GOP. Due to what has happened in America since 2000, I now consider myself a progressive, and registered as a Non-Affiliated voter.
