Beautifully said, Mark. Every sentence rings true to me, every point is well-taken. Sadly, I fear you are preaching to the choir. So many people who need to understand this, already have their own "facts" and agendas and will choose not to engage with your post. And an astronomically large number of voting people are under-educated, and simply do not read. I see little hope, but I am old and tired of the struggle, I guess. Keep the faith, my friend! Someone has to.

Mark, you caused me to wonder about Al Gore! I googled him, and he seems more in the background but still active on the environment, he had two recent tweets on the environment, one is about a conference on the environment. I’m not on X/Twitter any more, but that seems to be a place to find his good thoughts.

I am currently reading a book my husband was quite impressed by. The Ministry of the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. I didn't like the writing style at first but I am finally getting into the story, which is a kind of cautionary tale about climate change set in a very current time frame.

I think most people know that it is real now; and you look like a fool if you don't think so. There is PLENTY of evidence. Too bad Al Gore wasn't president back when he should have won. He knew it a long time ago. (On a side note whenever I go to make a comment on one of your stories it makes me go back to my email and get signed back in and sometimes I just don't have time for that so don't do it!). Have a nice day.
