Putting One’s Head in the Sand Doesn’t Change the Facts

School boards in deeply red states like Florida are using textbooks with all reference to the subject of climate change removed.  Of course, that does not change the fact a warmer climate is one in which storms become more destructive than ever before, because of all the extra heat energy stored in the atmosphere and oceans.

Ultimately, Big Oil and the others with huge economic incentives to suppress our understanding of climate science will lose.  Unfortunately, places like Florida will be one big, semi-submerged, uninsurable mess by the time that happens.

As our society looks back on this time a few decades from now, it will come to a horrible realization:  It didn’t have to be this way.
