Climate change is an existential threat. If we don’t reduce and eventually eliminate our reliance on burning fossil fuels, global warming will continue and bring havoc to the planet earth. The United Nations climate change conference will take place from October 31 – November 12 in Glasgow, Scotland.
Climate change is the cause of the repressive heat and fires that unfortunately have become common place in the West. Climate change accelerated the conditions that created a heat dome over the Pacific NW.

This post is a climate science fact sheet especially designed for Pence and Trump. In both recent debates, each showed they either don’t or refuse to understand some very simple science of climate change.
