Climate change is normal. There has always been fluctuations in Earth's climate. Scientists aren't concerned that the climate is changing, they're worried about how fast it's changing

Greenhouse gases are normal. The greenhouse effect is natural and in fact predates human existence. Again, scientists aren't concerned that there are greenhouse gases, they're worried about the amount of them that are being produced.

The USA makes up less than 5% of the world's population, but contributes 16.7% of global CO2 emissions

Current models suggest that average global temp will increase by 1.5-2.0°C by 2100, and 0.5-7°C by 2300. That doesn't seem like much, but even lowballing those estimates will be substantially more than it has increased in the past 5 million years

Temp change is not equal in all places. Polar regions warm faster than tropical. Factors like wind and ocean currents affect whether temp will change or not. Some seasons will change more than others. Just because the temperature was lower than average one year doesn't mean that global warming isn't real.

It's called climate change for a reason, it's not all just warming. Take Texas this year for example, they had stupid low temperatures for that area, which is definitely abnormal, but doesn't point to evidence that global warming isn't real, it just means that the atmosphere is doing some weird shit because of things happening

Basically, despite the overall global temp increasing, some areas will also experience extreme temps in seasons, like one area will have extreme low temps in the winter and/or extreme high in the summer

The change in temp also affects the water cycle, which causes some areas to have much wetter soil and some to have much drier soil

The change in climate and other abiotic factors in ecosystems have been forcing rapid evolution of organisms in affected environments

But, if organisms can't evolve fast enough, then we're looking at another mass extinction, particularly arctic animals that are being affected most by the climate change causing loss of habitat and resources, and extremely sensitive organisms like almost all amphibians, like frogs and newts etc

Calls for Justice for Aurora’s Violinist Elijah McClain Grow

Elijah McClain was a kind and gentle 23 year old who worked as a massage therapist in Aurora, CO. On his lunch breaks from work, Elijah would go to the animal shelters and play violin for the animals because he thought that they were lonely in their cages and thought that the music would calm them. 

In August 2019, Elijah went to the gas station to buy some iced tea for himself and his cousins. Because he suffered from anemia he would often wear a ski/ runner mask over his face to stay warm. On his way home, the Aurora Police department were called to reports of a “suspicious man.” 

(Warning: for violent description) Elijah was apprehended by a group of three cops, despite committing NO crime and being unarmed. A struggle occurred, and he was held in a very dangerous carotid hold around his neck while he cried for help, cried out that he couldn’t breathe, cried out that he was nonviolent and couldn’t even kill a fly, and was repeatedly throwing up. Elijah weighed a mere 140 pounds. You can hear on the audio footage, an officer instructing another to move their body camera out of view.

While 3 Aurora Police Dept officers violently restrained him they called Aurora Fire Dept, who injected him with ketamine (a powerful drug used to tranquilize horses or in surgeries by a trained anesthesiologist and illegal to be administered by anyone else) even though he was already cuffed and calm.

He went into cardiac arrest , slipped into a coma, and his family was advised to take him off life support 6 days later.

The cops were transferred to another department but never received charges.
