Bigger Tornados Are Powered By Fossil Fuel Billionaires
By Thom Hartmann A...
All across Europe, when weather is severe and absolutely record-breaking, typically news reports point out that this is one of the predicted results of the current level of global warming. That kind of reporting is almost entirely absent here in the United States, because of the power and influence of fossil fuel billionaires on the Republican Party.Americans need to know that the atmosphere has 6% more moisture in it now than it did just 50 years ago because of global warming, and more moisture means bigger tornadoes, more violent thunderstorms, worse flooding, and epidemics of wildfires.
And all the responsibility for it can be laid at the feet of the fossil fuel industry that is, every day, pumping more millions into the coffers of Republican politicians and the media.

Global warming is a serious problem about which it is important to be properly informed. You need to understand what actions should start to take now. In Europe, they are openly talking about it and looking for measures. Even casino Denmark online is taking part and looking for solutions. Changes occurring on the planet are caused by human activity and people should look for options to prevent major disasters.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
In Republican bizarro world, filthy rich donors "Trump" their base of ignorant fools who don't deserve the many wonderful benefits of our social democracy, which they take for granted yet work to destroy.
