2. Ballad of a Thin Man

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Rubio and 97% of the climate change deniers know what's happening (anthropomorphic generated global warming), but they pretend they don't so that they can get power and more money trickling down from the Kochs and their ilk. They would say (if they introspected, which they don't) "To hell with my grandchildren!"

5. Their grandchildren will be fine

Ours, not so much.

8. A note - tribal land on the West coast is already, today, being flooded as barriers that have stood

for thousands of years are now being overcome by what we have done.

The Quinault Indian Nation, among others, is moving to higher ground. It's already here.

14. Sad that this is mecessary

But at least they are making well-conceived plans. Can't say the same for most people, who will be shocked when what they have been repeatedly told will happen, happens.

15. For every one else, the price of chocolate is going up, likely the result of changes occurring in

the cocoa producing outside of the us,which will also cause disruptions in incomes dependant on it.

There are hundreds of little indicators that we have waited too long.

People dying is one thing. But perhaps when they find out what is happening to their chocolate...

16. Almond crop looks

bad here in CA, according to a farmer I know. The early heat caused blooming, followed by torrential El Niño rains which knocked off the blossoms. I can't say that this is entirely a result of climate hange, but the severity in our weather swings certainly looks like it. Maybe the Mormons and survivalists are right and we should stockpile food and necessities.

[jtuck004]

17. It might be because I had such a shaky beginning, but I have always held those who prepare to

survive in high esteem. Up until they turn it into a religion, but that's not most.

Though I would check gov maps, go out a hundred years say. Just to make sure your stash isn't "buried" where the Pacific will be in 20 years if they are wrong.


But yeah - the climate heating is also about more extreme and unrecoverable events, closer together. That makes them destructive, no time to recover. Much stronger than we have defended against in the past. Lots of stuff that used to thrive that won't.

Good idea to have some stuff aside, do some walking and keep in shape, eh?

18. I'm in the hills

So will be walking distance to the beach! Also time to rewatch The Twilight Zone episode about the bomb shelter.

3. Witty, but dated, since Rubio dropped out two weeks ago...

[n2doc]

11. He's still a Senator, unfortunately n/t

[Dont call me Shirley]

4. Rubio will remain a powerful force in the gop party and he represents the ignorant mind of the gop.

[jtuck004]

6. Not ignorant at all. Willing to kill hundreds of thousands to keep his account in the black.

Would piss on your family's graves if he could get 15 cents.

Not ignorant. Dangerous. Like a highway sniper or rabid bat.

[NCjack]

7. Lil' Marco is still part of the US Senate cabal that prevents action on global

climate change.

[jtuck004]

9. I'm no zookeeper, but he's a snake in the grass. Wear protection. n/t

[Dont call me Shirley]

13. That behavior, imho, is ignorant.

[forest444]

10. Narco and those 25-second sound bites.

Crisco, you were right.

12. Another great Doonesbury strip

19. I'm just a robot.
