Fucking hell. Poor animals.
This is just the beginning. This is one of the coolest summers were ever going to have again.
I have relatives that have learned not to mention the heat to me because of a similar response I give them.
I’ll usually say, “it’s not as hot as next year, relax!”
This makes me so sad.
This makes me angry.
US Vice President Dick Cheney was asked about climate change. His response? “I really don’t give a shit. We need to produce more fossil fuels”
It didn’t have to be that way. Americans could have elected Al Gore in 2000. Al Gore was actually worried about climate change. Instead, americans voted for Bush-Cheney twice
Then Barack Obama was elected. He tried to push for a carbon tax.
Powerful US Senator Mitch McConnell vowed to prevent any carbon tax from ever happening
When Obama tried to take regulatory action, he urged US States to prevent him for doing so
He urged President Trump to leave the Paris Climate Agreement

In exchange, Mitch McConnell was lavishly rewarded by Billionaire Koch and Billionaire Charles Koch, who own the largest private oil company in the US.
The people of Kentucky fucking love Senator Mitch McConnell. This guy opposes paid sick leave and they love for him for that. In fact, if he ran again, I assure you that they would vote for him again
Then 77 million americans elected a climate-change denier who appointed an oil CEO (Chris Wright) as US Energy Secretary.
The American people did elect Al Gore.
The Supreme Court said no.
When saharan animals with shade and water are dying from heat exhaustion, it’s super bloody hot.
Americans could have elected Al Gore in 2000.
