...pretty sure that Climate Change is real & hugely consequential for Weather Events
...Scientists having told us a *real real* long time ago that higher temps & more moisture in the atmosphere from melting ice would mean Fewer - but Larger Storms, which (frankly) even a fool should be able to see for themselves has become our reality - in spades
- Sea Level Rise (Flooding everywhere - submerging entire Pacific Island Nations no less)
- & Global Temperature Rise resulting in things like - oh - the Sixth Major Extinction of Species in the entire Geologic History of Planet Earth
- &, entirely Man-Made
- & unequivocally because of Carbon from the use of Fossil Fuels.
