The alternative to saving the world.

The wettest June. In this part of Minnesota. Since the 1840s. Or so I’m told. And there are still 10 days left in the month. And last winter. Was the third coldest since 1873. And the winter before that. Was one of the warmest ever. Only three days of sub-zero. Weather extremes. They seem to come. With increased frequency. Makes me wonder. If all this is the effect of global warming. Yes, it’s supposed to be a scientific fact. Roundly denied by Republicans. Because they don’t want anything spent. On dealing with global warming. For fear that it will hurt the economy. Better to make money. Rather than do the right thing…and save the world. –Jim Broede
