Over the past few years, the Chinese government has recognized the immediacy and profound danger posed by the climate crisis; while they&#8217;re still burning way too much coal and oil, it&#8217;s indisputable that China is leading the world in developing energy sources that won&#8217;t add CO2 to our atmosphere.  And where is the USA?  Locked in a cycle of denial, with Republican senators and Fox commentators opining that an anomalous snowfall in Washington invalidates thousands of peer-reviewed scientific reports (which, by the way, predict such weather events).  If ninety-seven out of a hundred oncologists diagnosed cancer, you&#8217;d be wise to start treatment immediately.  When ninety-seven percent of climatologists state the facts of anthropogenic global warming, they should be rewarded and heeded, not mocked and ignored.<\/p>\n<p>Warren Senders<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No shortage of material these days.
