Nearly two dozen cattle died in Nebraska, more than 100 Missouri nursing home residents were evacuated and an ice cream shop in Iowa was forced to close as record-shattering heat engulfs more than 20 states.

    This is not the new normal. It’s important to understand that. Next year, it’s going to be worse. And then the year after that, it’s going to be worse. And then it’s going to be worse. And worse. And worse.

    The actual “new normal” is escalating change. More storms. More floods. More sea levels rising. More heat waves. More fires. More hurricanes. More, more, more.

    Don’t like it? Stop voting for politicians who don’t believe climate change is real.

      I live in Missouri, we’re just not given a choice of candidates that care, can win, and can achieve results. The middle of the state is just dead set on making everything as terrible as possible since they’re in a death cult and the two cities on either side of the state just don’t have the power to outweigh the vast swathes of country folk

    But gosh, a fast-talking con artist with a name I couldn’t pronounce just told me that climate change was a hoax!
