The above fails to address the issue. And the issue regarding temperatures has nothing to do with protecting the environment.

I have no interest in debating wind farms, or solar panels. Just a political sideshow to whatever is evolving over time on the planet.

The "mother earth" stuff makes no sense when it comes to humans. At one time Pennsylvania was under a glacier. Without the sun there is no earth -- mother or otherwise. "Mother earth" could be around long after the planet is uninhabitable for any living thing.

The issue for humans with regard to climate is whether climate changes over time (regardless if caused by humans or not) may make certain areas uninhabitable.

The lack of any need for icebreakers in the Chesapeake over the last decade or more is a perfect example. Less ice tells any thinking person the temperatures are lower.

Areas along coastlines, for example, are highly susceptible to rising tide levels. Tides are rising, according to NOAA measuring at the Ocean City, MD inlet. If they continue to rise, in 50 or 100 years, property values will be zero in many low-lying areas.

We have no idea what is going to happen, but why ignore what we can see happening? What we see may be short-term.

I'll answer that question. Many on the right ignore rising tides because to admit the obvious for fear they have to admit some level of global warming.... and then the debate over whether humans have any control over it.
