"Sad to be criticized by the left for something as obvious as solar (clouds & darkness) and wind (calm winds) are not reliable or consistent." [ The sun rises and sets each day. I can sort of see his point on solar power and clouds though. I mean, if we persist in creating massive clouds of pollution in our atmosphere it might be difficult for solar panels to get adequate light. If only everyone could agree- somehow- to reduce emissions so that renewable energy could be better utilized. Maybe if all the world leaders came together and agreed to do their part? Maybe even signed an agreement?

Maybe we can start a rumor that Jesus discovered climate change and then it will catch on among the GOP.

What is the point of this? Is this some sort of backdoor way to create fetal personhood? In TX they've just started requiring the burial of fetal remains for both miscarriages and elective abortions. I have a lot of feelings about it. I have a cousin who just TMFR and is required to have a burial. My mom told me they were caught off guard when a parson entered the room afterwards to talk to them about their options.

Does KA think she's helping the cause here? "He’s stayed where he’s always been, and not for a lack of trying by those who have an opposite opinion,” said Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president. “He started with a conclusion, and the evidence brought him to the same conclusion.” Starting with a conclusion. Give me a fucking break. "He knew what he wanted the answer to be so he looked for the talking points that would back him up" Omg is that an actual quote?!

I mean, we discuss burial options with everyone but it's the OB nurses and social workers that do it. Wtaf to having a religious person handling that

They aren't even telling all the family because they're worried about being judged for making that decision.

Did anyone see Rick Santorum's tweet? Is he really this stupid? I just..... "Sad to be criticized by the left for something as obvious as solar (clouds & darkness) and wind (calm winds) are not reliable or consistent." He needs one or 10 of these.

Jerry Brown is basically saying California will just take the place of the US in leading the charge against climate change. Jerry Brown is giving me life right now. There are many reasons I can't stand CA, but since January I've felt better about being a resident. This makes me proud

I can't with this statement. there are other options if you don't have reliable sun, Rick. In BC we can't do solar because clouds but we have hydro power. Get a fucking clue.

The wind doesn't always blow! The only logical solution? Destroy!!!

Interesting read about the Republican and Democratic data operations. thehill.com/homenews/campaign/336009-gop-hopes-data-investment-will-boost-midterm-oddsI'm scared 2018 is going to feel like election night '16 all over again. I've had two conversations this week with smart women who 'didn't know _____" was going on (our state parks are taking a major hit, we're on the anti-climate bench with Syria, etc.). It's painful to be plugged in sometimes but if we can't turn this apathy around, and mobilize people, what the hell is coming next? There's plenty of 2017 left to fuck things up too, so that's great.

Maybe we can start a rumor that Jesus discovered climate change and then it will catch on among the GOP. They won't listen God created the planet. Evolution isn't real. God wouldn't let the planet be destroyed.

In response to "I was elected to represent the people of Pittsburgh, not Paris" I just watched a clip of the interview with him. I'm so fucking proud of my hometown. I don't say that often.
