Meeting cancelled due to inclement weather
It looks like the record setting cold will continue beyond our meeting. So for those that can make we will discuss Trump's tweet about the cold which mocked climate change.
Here are the videos for the meeting:
- Trump uses bitterly cold weather to dismiss global warming
- Fact-checking Trump’s tweet about cold weather and climate change
- The Paris Climate Agreement Won't Change the Climate
- Bill Gates launches 'Breakthrough Energy Coalition' at COP21
- 13 Misconceptions About Global Warming
- Polar Vortex & The Jet Stream
- Climate apocolypse?
In that we didn't get to meet today, here's a thought that might nevertheless stimulate some interests. “… the real names of global warming are Waste and Greed …” (Wendell Berry 2008). While Berry's observation may be restating the obvious, debate nevertheless tends to focus on science. Perhaps we might bring discussion closer to reality, if not resolution, by focusing on what the debate is really about ... money and who gets it.
