CLIMATE CHANGE INACTION

This week's Woolwich Observer carried an opinion piece by Steve Kannon titled "Inaction on climate change likely to cost us much more down the road". In it Steve advises us of the pay now or pay much more later aspect of this problem. Unfortunately Steve pretty clearly sees politicians world wide as believing that climate change is both somebody else's problem to solve and that tomorrow not today is the time to do it.

Steve mentions in some detail the books of local writer and environmentalist Michael Purves-Smith. Michael wrote a series as in Opus 1, 2 etc. of "Rocky Mountain Locust". I read them and found them both educational and an enjoyable, interesting read. If another Opus comes out I'll be buying a copy of it as well. Climate change is real and besides the acknowledgement of a litany of scientists world wide; no greater proof can there be than Donald Trump and a few recalcitrant, die-hard Republicans reject the concept. Good enough for me right there.
