Most people hate cold weather more than hot weather? That probably explains why they are not bothered by global warming.

Here in New York, the winters have been unusually severe, record low temperatures all over. We had our last snowstorm during the first week of April - and I'm not convinced it's over yet!

weather, and man is certainly not causing global cooling. So it all starts with excessive release of CO2 and methane.

From the melting in the Arctic, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires and flooding. But I have to disagree with the premise here. Just yesterday on MSNBC they said that the biggest concern of Democratic voters for the next election is climate change - with health care a close second.

Seriously, though. I think until people start experiencing the real, devastating effects of climate change personally, they just won't take it seriously enough to do much about it. It's too abstract and far away for them. Unfortunately, it's closer than they think and we are all going to go down with the ship unless something is done soon on a massive scale.

It's too bad that the effing republicans see any effort in turning this around as a plot to curtail their profits and ability to exploit as much of the planet as possible. Unfortunately, all the old geezers will be dead before the shit really hits the fan, which is I suppose why they don't care in the first place.

And these are truly scary times since it sure looks like Trump is doing everything he can, including rescinding Obama's safety rules and initiatives, to make things worse! And doesn't he have grandchildren??

and the media also does not report on this as much since most news people are just news readers and celeb pundits. so there is lack of actual discussion.

There are plenty of science reporters who could explain it in ways that viewers could understand. Unfortunately, we no longer get the same kind of news that we used to - we no longer hear about floods and tsunamis and earthquakes elsewhere in the world. All we seem to hear about these days is Trump's latest outrageous offense or gaffe - that's what drives ratings.

And just yesterday I heard on MSNBC that the two biggest concerns of Democratic voters are climate change and health care - in that order.

important things going on around the world.

the US tv news is closer to reality tv shows than serious news reporting.

His antics drive the ratings and we're fortunate to hear important breaking news, let alone international news - except for PBS, but the mainstream news is stuck on Trump.
