Take a stand to fight climate change

I ask you to look deep into your emotions and tease out your feelings about human-caused climate change. Have those feelings gotten caught up in our imploding political landscape because the topic was publicly introduced by Al Gore, a Democrat?

Are you stuck in publishing the back and forth of those who believe the 97 percent of climate scientists who deduce the cause of our rapidly changing weather patterns as significantly impacted by our over-the-top consumption of energy and those who deny the science, thus becoming the gorillas of denial yourselves?

Our country is the biggest proportionate carbon polluter of any on the planet, yet we flit around like carefree butterflies who ignore the tornado roaring at them.

Please take a stand to put a price on carbon to get us off our carbon fuel dependence and give the monies raised to each resident of our country in equal shares to employ the market economy, all of us, in the solution.
