MANY OF US CONSIDER OURSELVES "ENVIRONMENTALISTS" BUT  DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR THE LIFE BOAT IS!

Our generation is the first generation to experience the effects of Global Climate Change. Our generation may be the last generation that can do something about it!
We listened to climate scientists about the ozone hole problem and are on a path to repairing that damage. In today's world we are, instead, listening to the, energy corporation created, "climate change doubters,and deniers " while we sit on our hands and do, virtually, nothing about the problem. WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS SHIP?

ONE WEEK OF SCHOOL IN, we moved down the alphabet!Why do multinational corporations invest millions/billions of dollars in electing politicians that they hope will listen to them? Why do multinational corporations invest millions/billions, in passing legislation, that they hope will be favorable to them, such that our government does little, or nothing, to regulate proven environmental concerns?Why do multinational corporations invest millions, and billions, to prevent legislation that might address the wealth gap, and income disparity, in our country?Why? BECAUSE IT WORKS!

Whatever happened to it being illegal in our country for a newspaper, to be owned by a radio station, to be owned by a television network?Whatever happened to a “Monopoly” being illegal in our country?Whatever happened to “equal time” on broadcast radio and television?Whatever happened to “Conflict of Interest”?The Supreme Court’s 2010 radical decision, Citizens United, to legally identify multinational corporate rights to be the same as an individual citizen of the United States, is part of what happened. The Citizens United concept that multinational corporate money is the same as our free speech is part of what happened! Corporate spending to elect candidates, pass legislation, even write the legislation, is what happened!

It's back to school time. It's important to take time to recognize how our new form of government works. In the United States, we have the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch, the Judicial Branch, and the ALEX Branch. The ALEX Branch oversees the other three minor branches of our government.

The result of having one network focused, primarily, as an ideological base for the Tea Party, is more and more hate. 

Fox takes advantage of the prejudices that already exist. They started out as a faction of the Republican Party but the Republican Party is now a faction of the Fox Party.

ALSO, THE FIRST 7 MONTHS OF THIS YEAR WAS A RECORD FOR PLANET EARTH! THIS IS GOING BACK SINCE RECORDS HAVE BEEN KEPT!

This is serious stuff.....and.....water is even a better conductor than air, resulting in our oceans heating up, on a much larger scale, than Earth's air! Ocean acidification is rising dramatically. Carbon Dioxide levels are increasing even more dramatically. If this was normal warming, from our Sun, the upper atmosphere would also be warming, at the same, accelerated level. IT ISN'T!
