Can Humanity Be Saved?
By Thom Hartmann A...
As the Amazon is on fire and the Democratic Party refuses to hold a debate focused on climate change, an Australian think tank has come out with a report suggesting the possibility that climate change could destroy human civilization within as little as 30 years. Climate change has already destroyed civilization in Syria; as it expands across the planet, it could take the rest of us with it. Considering this chaotic possibility, governments need to reconfigure both their political and their military positions to radically reduce the chance of nuclear disaster and focus on completely decarbonizing our economy. This is a massive project and absolutely necessary: literally reconfiguring the world in order to save humanity.-Thom

So you would take Obama's judgment over that of the vast, vast majority of scientists? He's a politician, not a climate scientist. I, at least, took the trouble to get a degree in environmental science to look at the evidence, and there is overwhelming corroboration from a wide range of sciences.

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:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
Climate change is a scam, Thom.
"a report suggesting the possibility that climate change could destroy..."? Talk about nuanced language.
If climate change is such a threat, why would Pres. Barack Obama (the hero of many on the left) plop down $14.8 million on a beachfront mansion on Martha's Vineyard if it is going to be wiped out by rising sea levels in 10-20 years? How much sense does that make? I guess that makes BHO a climate denier.
