MY STARBOARD OPINION: Global warming with a side of blizzards - Duxbury, MA - Wicked Local Duxbury
We live in a society that has been trained to always assign blame. Hurricane Katrina was global warming. Deadly flooding in Australia is global warming. Record snowfall in the Big Apple is global warming. Destroyed orange groves in Florida is global warming.
Right wing denies facts, ignores science, helps reelect Obama - The Hill's Pundits Blog
Recently we learned that 2009 was tied for the warmest year in the history of the planet. The last decade was the warmest decade in the history of the planet. This week we learned that House Republicans want to raise the federal deficit even higher, by a significant amount, by repealing healthcare reform.

How do our friends on the right wing react? They deny the facts about climate change and the truth that the last decade was the warmest in the history of the earth.

Wake up and smell the devastation, political leaders in DC.
I wrote this and performed it at the Global Warming Education Network's Citizen's Climate Congress in DC on Earth Day 2010.
