Perfect storm of stupid: Warmist Amy Goodman suggests that we need a Paula Revere like Bill McKibben to warn us of the alleged CO2-induced grief felt by the sky

A perfect storm of stupid | Amy Goodman | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
The news is full of extreme weather headlines – floods, wildfires, droughts, tornadoes – but the US still doesn't get climate change
...
Herein lies the real scandal: Why aren't the TV meteorologists, with each story, following the words "extreme weather" with another two: "climate change"?

We need modern-day eco-Paul (or Paula) Revere to rouse the populace to this imminent threat.

If anyone fits that role, it's Bill McKibben.
...
The global climate is changing, and humans are the principal cause. Will we in the US, the world's historically largest polluter, heed the warnings of our environmental Reveres, or will the troubled sky, as Longfellow wrote, increasingly reveal the grief it feels?
