Yes Gary, I did watch the video, at least the George Carlin one. George is a comedian with views that I agree with 98% of the time. If I want to laugh and be entertained, I go to Carlin, if I want scientific information, I go to a legitimate SCIENTIFIC source. What amazes me is how climate science is no longer a scientific issue but a raging, screaming POLITICAL issue between the far Right (born out of a hatred for clean air/clean water regulations, enacted mostly by the Democrats, which could impact the corporate bottom line) and the rest of the sane world who merely want a safe, healthy environment for themselves and their children. This is just one of many issues being used to divide this nation and it's sad (to me) to see how easily we can be exploited and how willing we are to accept or ignore thousands of documented, super fact-checked lies we're bombardied with every day. Thank goodness this illness only affects about a third of our nation, however vocal they are, and that number appears to be dwindling.
I only want my children to grow up in a better world than exists right now, where truth and basic morality (especially in our leaders) actually means something; where peaceful protest, a concept this nation was founded upon, is not painted to look like something else just to rile up a BASE of people who are just looking for an reason to justify their darkest feelings towards other segments of the population.
This belongs in the bar and for that reason I won't post any more about it. I think it's pretty clear where we all stand; no surprises here. Have a good day.
