Weather, Climate & Politics

Severe heat, extreme tornado damage, catastrophic flooding and intense hurricanes have plagued the South-Central and Southeastern U.S. over the past fewf years.  No doubt, climate change is fueling the devastation.

Yet, political leaders in these Conservative, Republican States continue to minimize (if not deny) the threat of global warming, opposing efforts to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.  Since this is also a Conservative Christian region of the country, one would think they might heed God's regular warnings.

Unfortunately, Republicans seem to be blind these days, oblivious of climate change, gun violence, racial hatred and, most recently, the risk of mishandling classified documents.  Personal freedom is their mantra and woke liberals are their only concern.
