It’s time to recognize that Global Warming is a FACT (visible in the NASA photo below), which means the U.S. needs to reduce our CO₂ emissions by a national energy transition from oil and carbon to hydrogen and solar fuels. Don’t believe it? Just look at the photos and ask every “Global Warming denier” (especially President Trump) to explain the 300,000 square miles of sea-ice between the ice cap over the North Pole and the red line that melted between 1979 and 2012. Melting polar ice along with melting glaciers (which have turned into flowing rivers in the last century) have produced water that had to go somewhere -- and that’s into the world’s oceans (whose warming melted the polar sea-ice from the bottom). Warm oceans breed hurricanes. After this year’s example of coastal flooding, any residual doubts should be gone just ask the population of Houston and other communities flooded from this year’s hurricanes. Comparable changes thousands of years ago took centuries -- not just the 33 years between 1979 and 2012. There’s scientific consensus that Global Warming is largely due to a greenhouse effect from emissions of carbon dioxide. The major sources of CO₂ are oil and coal, fossil fuels that have been the principal energy sources for industrial societies. America’s substantial contribution to Global Warming has received virtually no media coverage in the U.S.
