No contingency plans??? We have Brad Pitt and Woody Harrelson, we're fine.

A graph that begins in 1850 hardly can define a norm for a planet Billions of years old. It misses the Roman warming period and the Medieval warming period as well. Plus a gas that comprises .04% of the atmosphere and is the reason plants thrive is not a culprit for a "climate crisis". Science you cannot question is not science that is propoganda

I haven't clicked on this thread in a bit..

While, yes, bad crap could happen, hasn't chronic wasting disease been around for at least a few decades?

Eh ... a little measles never hurt anybody. I mean, this sounds like total BS:

About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the United States who contract measles is hospitalized, according to the CDC. As many as 1 out of 20 children develop pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children. About 1 child out of every 1,000 with measles will develop swelling of the brain that can lead to convulsions and leave the child deaf or with an intellectual disability. For unvaccinated babies who contract measles, 1 in 600 can develop a fatal neurological complication that can lie dormant for years.

Lies. The real danger to Florida children are books - gotta ban more and more of 'em to keep their kiddos safe!

Sorry.  I do my own research on facebook.

I'm going to be a new father soon and I love that I have to worry about previously non issue eradicated diseases because dentists got on Facebook

  And yet, banks continue to give 30 year mortgages on ocean front properties as the wealthy, politicos and celebrities continue to buy them.

Tumbleweed is sprawling across sidewalks. It is blowing across freeways. It is stacked up — feet high — against homes in Utah and Nevada.

They're calling it Tumblegeddon!
