Questions on Climate Change

In an interview on CNN with Anderson Cooper, Al Gore said that there are three questions around climate change:

1. Is it real? 
2. Can we do something about it? 
3. Will we do something about it?

To the first he responded that we no longer need science to tell us about climate change because Nature is giving witness through extreme weather conditions, melting ice caps, and receding shorelines. 
We absolutely can do something. We can slow the effects of climate change.  Wind and Solar power is a growing industry creating jobs while becoming more accessible and more affordable.  
Will we do something?  Something is being done.  Countries, industries, and individuals are confronting climate change despite, and even spurred on, by the current administration’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and its support of the fossil fuel industry through reversal of the Environmental Protection Agency’s rulings.  More can be done. 

Choose today to do something to reduce your dependence on fossil fuel: turn up the thermostat on your air conditioner, take public transportation, turn off computers and unplug electrical appliances when not in use.  Contact your legislators; write to the EPA to tell them your concerns.  What else can you do? Be creative!
