Some Quick & Easy Evidence For Climate Change

Climate change is the environmental challenge of this generation, 

and it is imperative that we act before it's too late. 

~ John Delane (Md-D), House of Representatives

Too often, when we seek to express concern or act to address human-induced climate change, some misinformed person will respond with misinformation and we sigh at having to prove it all once again.

So to help folks skip that effort, I've created this handy summary page of the key facts proving the problem of climate change (aka climate disruption). 

So now you can refer them here, or to specific links here. Or read the links to inform your own riffs.  Then move on to better use of your time ... such as joining together in constructive action to steer us away from the path of destruction!

The 2016 Election: Not One Senator Stood

I wrote this poem to express my outrage at what happened at a key juncture in the official 2016 election process.  

There is a moment when it is the job of the Congress to either certify (confirm) that the election was done 100% fairly ... or step back to evaluate if it had process issues. 

This step was put into the process to help ensure fair elections.

At this stage in January 2017, for the November 2016 election, there was notable evidence for concern about issues in the election process ... enough to warrant a pause to consider them .. for the Congress not to just a rubber stamp the results.

A number of U.S. Representatives called for this pause. But we needed a Senator too. And none stepped forward. This is my experience of this and what it meant.


Not One Senator Stood
By Patricia Dines
January 8, 2017

Not one Senator stood
When the world hung in balance
And the cruel legislators drooled
At the tasty snack of our democracy
And the vain figurehead fool
Strutted, doing just as the
Puppetmasters directed
Thinking it proved him king
