Be Aware GOP/Allies Will Aggressively Prevent Or Stop Any Efforts To Address Global Heating.

We must get in their faces and shove the rhetoric right back down their throat. We have to get vicious against GOP legislators who intimidate and shout down anyone who asks about climate "heating". I think it is now "heating" and not warming. The GOP is determined to just violently shut down anyone who wants to address this developing crisis.

We can no longer allow them to push their wrong views as valid. We have to run them off the public stage and take over if necessary. Time to get uncivil and just go after them with a determined vengeance. We must make them afraid to resist rather than let us who want to save the earth be silenced.

Limit actions could be taken to slow down the rate but it's pretty much feeding itself now,

It takes miles to stop an oil tanker. We are not even in stopping mode yet. And the GOP is still pushing moving forward on carbon increasing. We do not know how close we are to a tipping point where catastrophic "heating" will crank up. I think we need to call it "heating" and not change or warming.

Right now seeing to many heat records being broken. We are seeing too many and more frequent waves. And rain storms are more and more just plain deluges.
