Climate Change Deniers

[grampahol]

You can sit on your back porch and think that the global temperature hasn't changed much and from your back porch in Cincinnati,  Dayton or most inland areas, but the problem is that your back porch doesn't encompass the entire globe. You don't feel the effects of climate change nearly as much as someone living in Sub Sahara Africa (which by the way was mostly green and lush before the Industrial revolution) or Equador or a million other places. You don't feel the immediate impact of billions of trees cut down for farming in the Amazon basin and you certainly wouldn't notice from Cincinnati Ohio that suddenly there's a wide open Northwest passage completely across the Arctic ocean in the summer months when there never was one before.
These changes don't just happen while you're out mowing the lawn, but over the course of a lifetime an entire region can change from productive farmland to wasteland. It can and has occurred in a few short years as it did during the dust bowl years. 
You can pretend it won't effect you or your family, but it most certainly will one way or another. 
From a self serving point of view, sure, I hate the cold.I'm very cold sensitive, but I'm also pretty sensitive to 120° temperatures that last all summer long. 
The last year I was living in Irving Texas the temperature reached 115 every day for over 76 straight days and every single plant in our front yard, trees, bushes, grass, ALL DIED.. It didn't rain that entire time and there were wild fires all over the state. Our current energy secretary, former governor of Texas at the time Tricky Ricky's solution? Pray for rain.. It eventually did rain, but I strongly believe it had nothing to do with his pleading with any higher power. The weather service had forcasted rain 3 days before his now infamous prayer gathering at the stadium.. What a schmuck..
