The Arctic is where the ice melt is.

The northern hemisphere pumps out the smog.
Wait, wasn't it smog and dust that created the ice age?
No, Obama created the Ice Age.

He was also the mastermind behind "New Coke".

Not to digress but I am okay with people making money off of infrastructure improvements so long as they do so legally and ethically.

Many of America's greatest enterprises arose from building railroads, dams, highways, aqueducts, pipelines, docks, bridges, tunnels, you name it. Every great construction and engineering firm made its bones that way.

Tell them to hand over the cell phones all must go! The earth will heat up just from the thought of most losing internet service.

People can deny this all they want, but it doesn't matter. We still need to prepare for the coming changes because climate change is already here.

I don't know about you but I'm just panicking here. I've heard there is a chance the average temp will rise all of 7/10 of a degree on average! So those -40 degree nights in Minnesota will warm all the way up to -39.

Awesome.

And that's fine. But the carbon tax thing is the epitome of money for nothing. Taxing air is ridiculous. But then again, it's not the first ridiculous tax to be invented. I'd much prefer the government just flat-out saying it's going to raise taxes than I would having them inventing such nonsense.

Yeah because it is always -40 in Minnesota. But no, you don't need to worry your little head one bit because it doesn't matter if you worry or not, but you will have to deal with it.

Then we deal with it. No sense in letting millions more starve and/or die around the world because of hypotheticals. CLimate change is the way the wealthy class get the Left to vote against their interests in the form of "saving the planet", this is no different from poor and working class Republicans voting against their own interests in the name for "freedom"
