I see you are thinking my friend and that you finally do not have the all the answers. Nor do I, nor will you. Life is what you choose, friend, foe. Choose wisely is all I can say.

The EPA will some day be the last thing you will be worried about. Wake up to current reality AND then we can do something for the better. But not until then unfortunately. We are waiting for you, but time is running out. I am reaching the point of realizing another harsh reality. People on the Right think much differently, and I am discovering that nothing short of extreme conditions will shake that up. And also that many of you will very quickly join the ranks of whatever powerful entity rises to the top. It’s natural that you do so, even if you don’t believe that. For example those people and things that you think are your “enemy” may in reality be your best ally, and those that you current believe are deserving of your admiration and loyalty may be your oppressors. Could you make this change in paradigms? Some will, some won’t. Germany in the 30′s is a very good analogy. Think about it, but not superficially, but seriously, over time and often. Who and what has the real power today? What are they doing with it? What is happending with their power, not just here, but around the globe? (And, it is mostly us that give them this power). Will you continue to do so? What will it take for you to try and get some personal power and control back? And finally- what side will you be on? And why?

You are missing the point. With or without climate change things will get harsher. And currently at least our hardships and sacrifices are NOT necessary but occur on purpose by the elite. They thrive off us, parasitically, and we continue to struggle even when there is plenty to go around… What will happen when the real shortages occur….??? Wake up.

Not exactly- eventually everything will get scarce including water. You people just don’t get it… finite resources and geometrically expanding populations. The Oil wars we are currently flooding with our tax dollars and younsters blood is just the beginning… Wake up.

Not abolished. Take the politics away and not have elected officials appoint the “Leader of the Agency.” In the real world, they would never be there being unqualified for the position. Very simple. Of course, it is never simple logic when it comes to government. Reminds me of a bad rash. The more you scratch it to get relief the bigger it becomes. Never changes.

Keeping personal lives aside let’s keep to the issue at hand. Climate change is “natural.” Unfortunately, in Minnesota as well as other States, it is “Unnatural” over the last two months, or so. I guess “Newsweek” in July 1975 was right, we are in a “Global cooling period.” Rob. Suggestion, take a breath, relax and play with your wonderful children that you love and adore. When I was younger, your age, my children brought me back to reality in what is really meaningful in life. You sound stressed out my friend and working two jobs as well as your wife, is not easy and I compliment you for your dedication to your family. Take care and get that chip off your shoulder.

Rob I am not rich. I do pretty good and I make no apology’s. The point of my post was simple, you said expect harsh conditions in the future…are these the same one’s predicted 20 years ago for our current climate? (That were never realized?) Or are they the conditions that are predicted every year that fail to be realized…for example more and more hurricanes that will grow in violence and strength every year. I think it has been the last 5 years they have predicted worse hurricanes and the opposite has happened. In other words, these predictions are rubbish and only designed to scare people. So I pay no attention.

I am almost 50 years old. So YES, that makes you a pompous SOB. And even if I was younger, nobody with kids should have to work two jobs. Who’s raising our kids today? Nobody, that’s who. And why? Not because there are so many bad parents, but because they are WORKING, any and all hours there can get their hands on, just To pay the bills. So yes, you are extreme, and heartless, and …. rigid and arrogant, and … PART OF THE PROBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION.

I’m not pompous nor extreme, I’ve been there my friend. Life is choices. Never forget that.

You are pompous and patronizing to the extreme. Extreme in many ways it seems.

Rob, I’m proud to hear what you just stated. You are going through what my father went through as well as my Mother. (My wife and I included). By the way, that was pre-Bush and it is called “life.” Work hard, feed your family and the “good times” will follow. What are good times? Not being quote unquote “Rich” in monetary terms, Rich in family, simple comforts and enjoying life at it’s fullest knowing that YOU worked hard for it, and it was not GIVEN to you FREE from someone else’s pocket. That’s not argumentative that is a simple fact of life. I see that you are dealing with it in the normal way of life. Finally, “real world” is what I just stated. Keep working hard and it will come. Always does, always will.
