We were warned

 

 Dec. 30, 2022

Conservatives say government should not help people, we should plan ahead.  But they have ignored the warnings about climate disruption for more than 100 years.  We could have changed gradually and saved ourselves from disaster.

COAL CONSUMPTION AFFECT- ING CLIMATE. The furnaces of the world are now burning about 2,000,000,000 tons of coal a year. When this is burned, uniting with oxygen, it adds about 7,000,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere yearly. This tends to make the air a more effective blan- ket for the earth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be con- siderable in a few centuries.‎'‎
