They have been making dire climate change predictions for decades and they never happen. I was told by my science teachers in high school that another Ice Age would come in our lifetime. Never happened. The oceans haven't risen despite many glaciers disappearing. These climate experts sound much more like the boy who cried wolf.

OH MY. how UNINFORMED this post is......HOOVER DAMN does not have enough water to generate electricity/power.....FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY A ''CALL'' WAS MADE FOR MORE WATER,BLUE MESA ON THE WESTERN SLOPE IS NOW DECIMATED,BECAUSE WATER IS NOW DOWN STREAM TO HOOVER DAMN.....THE INFORMATION/DATA IS THERE,COLLECTIVELY U CHOSE NOT TO UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF A MYRIAD OF MESSAGES.
Bankrupting the country will not do anything to change the earth's temperature. We don't have smart enough people in our government who could manage the green conversion, at the right speed using the right strategies. This forcing of technology before the masses can afford it is insane when you are simultaneously increasing costs of the only fuel average people can afford.
If someone could show me the grand plan and how it will be implemented in an affordable way, I'd love to see it. Saying we are going to create millions of green energy jobs sounds great, but we would first have to figure out how to compete with the enemy that is the biggest polluter and the one who is thumbing their noses at our silly climate summit.
The numbers don't work yet. The cost of forced conversion is insanely high and not realistic at this point.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Hoover Dam is not even one hundred years old. Droughts have affected the SW for centuries. And even if you completely turned the American economy green, China would still be the biggest polluter and India would be second biggest. How will you force them to comply? And even if you did, you don't know if the rains would return. Even before SUV's the SW went through tough droughts as part of normal weather patterns. California native Americans were some of the poorest in the nation with minimal farming even before the state was settled.

Denver's high pollution this summer was mostly from forest fire smoke. The Hoover dam won't fill up any faster when we are bankrupt and burning our furniture for heat.

Denver Post is full in on the climate change hysteria in the Sunday edition. Talking about how coastal populations will be forced from ancestral homes in Wales and the Carolinas. Of course the lead Page One story is how the Scotland climate change talks were pretty much worthless. Too many nations dependent on coal to heat homes and generate electricity after renewables continue to under preform, especially European wind power. The winds stopped blowing there this year.

SOME SEE IT AS A SERIOUS SIGNAL, OTHERS SEE IT AS HYSTERIA.....TIME IS THE ONE THING THAT WILL PROVE WHO IS WISEST
"Iwo Jima has been rising steadily over the years and is now over 50 feet above sea level," the report said.
A spokesman for the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington, D.C., said its underwater archeology team has little information on the ships, even after contacting their Japanese counterparts.
Iwo Jima has been rising for years due to volcanic activity beneath it, an official with the volcanological department of the Japan Meteorological Agency told Stars and Stripes by phone on Oct. 27. The island has risen about three feet a year since 2014, the official said.
He said the agency started collecting data that year, and the island likely rose at the same pace in previous years.
