This is climate change. For those of you who keep waiting for the “future” event, wait no longer. It is here, it is now. It will only get worse. Americans are now being killed in significant numbers by this phantasmagorical slayer from the future. The climate deniers have led Americans down the homicidal path of continued fossil fuel use with the resultant increase of carbon dioxide sequestration in our atmosphere. Self-avowed deniers such as Donald Trump, JD Vance, Mike Johnson, Ron DeSantis and innumerable others of their ilk continue their rhetorical canard. Their self-interested and single-minded energy policy has in no small measure led to this tragedy and countless others around the globe. ~ Ken Burke, MD, New Portland
