(8,175 posts)For one thing...I'm not going to read it again to refresh what it said, but I noticed the argument that the drought is not reversible.
This current drought we are suffering from has not been determined to be part of global warming. Instead it has been deemed to be one of the cyclical weather patterns that happen regularly. At least that is what I read earlier this year.
Not to say that global warming is not exacerbating it, but it very may only last a couple more years and then change back to a wetter pattern, like most other droughts that happen all over the globe at times. It's normal to have cyclical weather patterns.
And if he's wrong on this, then how much of the rest of his rant is alarmist and not based on reality?
He is pointing out many obvious truths, but he's also attacking people who don't deserve it. So what if Bernie supports the dem nominee if he doesn't win the primary? Would it really be better for a republican (like Trump or Cruz) to win? No it wouldn't...so it would be a good thing for him to support the dem nominee.
There is just too much in this OP to question to want to rec it.
