Every candidate
for a major US political party
recently
stood up and said
climate change wasn’t real.
Much of the US
is on fire
or in severe drought
or under water.
A five year old
could tell you
something was wrong
with climate.
Sane leaders
know climate change is real also.
When leaders say
they ‘don’t believe’
an obvious problem
is ‘real’,
they’re saying
‘I don’t plan
to ever help you
with that problem’.
And often
the full message is
‘And I will likely make
that problem worse.’
Don’t expect help
from leaders
who refuse
to ‘believe’ in a problem.
We’re on our own
with those leaders.
