Carbon dioxide causes climate change

You believe in science when you take a pill, fly in an airplane, and watch the weather report. Why not believe in science when it tells us carbon dioxide from fossil fuels causes climate change?

The scientists predicted that tropical disease would move north, that we would get more strong hurricanes, famines, droughts, and fires. That happened. Good grief people, what are you waiting for?

Letters of fire in the sky? Science can’t give you that.

There are about 3,000 gigatons of methane ice in the deep ocean and the arctic and warmer temperatures have started boiling it off. Methane has about 20-30 times the heat trapping effect of carbon dioxide. Do the math. That amounts to about 100 times the trouble we have now. You want that?

Do you want your children to die from Ebola, fires, malnutrition, or the wars the Pentagon predicts?

We need to stop burning fossil fuels, but we can't do it with Donald Trump. Trump wants to pull out of the Paris Accord and start burning the worst fuel, coal. Coal is a keg of dynamite, the world is sitting on it, and Trump wants to light the fuse.

There is one chance. The Electoral College can vote for common sense and not Trump. Log onto change.org, and sign the “Electoral College Electors: etc.” petition. If enough do it, we might save our children’s lives. Please act before Dec. 19. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are saddling up.
