So damn hot in Australia snakes seek refuge in bathroom toilets

Last edited Fri Feb 1, 2019, 09:43 AM - Edit history (1)

While North America shivers painfully with the deadly cold of a freaking Polar Vortex, Down Under they are setting Heat Wave records.

Roads are melting from heat Down Under. Roads are shattering from cold up north.

Still, the republicans lie. And lie. And lie. republican lies about climate change are profoundly dangerous for America. For you. For me. For the world.

republican lies about climate change are profoundly dangerous.

Washington Post story about Aussie snakes seeking toilet refuge.

always summer somewhere on this planet. Whenever someone sings that song I know he or she hadn't spent even 15 minutes in an entire lifetime learning about global warming and the growing climate extremes it would cause. For most of the deniers we know, that means half a century hiding from the truth.




Of course, how much worse are the minority of deniers than all the nonvoters who refuse to stand up for 15 minutes every 2 years for the need to combat climate change, fascism, corruption, racism, poverty? Very early on, nonvoters become the problem they claim to deplore.

There are plenty of golf courses in the western U.S., so Trump should be happy. Of course, he might have to gaze into beautiful Mexico, instead of seeing just a wall.
