That headline is important. The UN estimates that on average 21 million refugees are created each year because of climate change. Oceans rising, desertification increasing, droughts– all play a role. Global warming is not some Chinese hoax or Al Gore conspiracy, it is here, now. Today is October 10, and Carbon County still has not had a frost. In the 50s we had a killing frost by mid-September, and no, I am not confusing climate and weather.
So what is the big news; that a movie producer is a sexist pig? He is, but let’s keep things in perspective. After all, our president is a sexist pig.
While I am happy to see Mr. Weinstein fired, the news media needs to pay more attention to Puerto Rico, DACA, or China’s push to replace the internal combustion engine with electric cars. People, we need to focus.
