Clearly these consequences are related to man&#8217;s contributions to worldwide climate change. Meanwhile this administration aggressively censors scientific evidence and climate research, allows toxins in our air and water, promotes \u201cclean\u201d coal and other environmental pollutants in our food supplies, the air we breathe, and water we drink. Most of these mindless governmental policies are driven by the needs for corporate \u201chealth\u201d in favored industries not for the health of our citizens. Our government and our future should not be for sale for the benefit of corporate cronies!
