Spoiler Alert: It will never be the right time as long as Pruitt is the head of the EPA...

Spoiler Alert: It will never be the right time as long as Pruitt is the head of the EPA... Hurricane(s) destroying communities? Not the right time to talk about climate change. A bunch of people get killed in a mass shooting? Not the right time to talk about gun control. Trump being investigated for collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice? DEFINITELY the right time to talk about Hillary's emails. Editeding hilarious.

A bunch of people get killed in a mass shooting? Not the right time to talk about gun control. Trump being investigated for collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice? DEFINITELY the right time to talk about Hillary's emails. Editeding hilarious. Had a doctors appointment this morning. I told my doctor that I don't believe in hypertension - and even if it does exist, I don't believe that I can do anything to change it: it's occurs naturally in some people and not in others. So I'm not going to bother to do things that are probably inherently good for me, because why bother? I mean, the doctor and the nurse both took my blood pressure (a few minutes apart) and got DIFFERENT results. If you can't even tell me with 100% certainty what my blood pressure is, how can you possibly claim to be able to tell me that it's too high? Sorry doc, I know that you went to medical school and have been a practicing internist for 30+ years. But I just don't believe in hypertension. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if you and the pharmaceutical companies are in cahoots to make the whole world think that hypertension is a thing so that they can sell more medication and you can keep getting kickbacks from them. And if you don't respect my belief that hypertension isn't real, I will label you an elitist who is out of touch with people like me and mock you for being so well-educated on the topic. And now is definitely NOT the time to be talking about diet and exercise.

Since you have a consensus of one doctor with a nurse who is a non-believer (anti science), obviously we need to impose mandatory vegetable diets and mile a day running for all Americans.

Aside from your total mis-read of the analogy, good job.

Looking forward to next week when they nominate a Tobacco CEO for Surgeon General.

There is an interesting program on Frontline on PBS this week locally (Wed. 10 pm). It might have aired already depending on where you are. It is FRONTLINE: War on the EPA.

How long until Fox News "reports" that this must have come from THE DEEP STATE?

Climate scientists in the federal government have been on the defensive since President Donald Trump took office in January. But military leaders will continue to address the risks that climate change poses to bases and national security, a senior Pentagon official said at a conference on Oct. 27 on sea level rise. taskandpurpose.com/mattis-climate-change-trump/

Climate scientists in the federal government have been on the defensive since President Donald Trump took office in January. How crazy is it that this is an accurate statement? Climate scientists are on the defensive as a result of the opinions of a reality star with an aversion to reading. You can't make this stuff up.

This leaves the US under Trump as the only nation in the world out of it.

This leaves the US under Trump as the only nation in the world out of it. Which means that - basically - less than half of the people in the United States seem to think that they know better than the rest of the world. And those same people accuse everyone else of being arrogant and elitist.

Fake news. What you said means there are no persons outside the US who don't believe in Climate Change. What the leaders claim and what the residents believe are not one and the same.
