   While Baja and Southern California receive torrential rain, a 100 year drought snarls traffic, with 200 cargo ships waiting to pass, through the Panama Canal because there’s not enough fresh water to fill the channel from freshwater lakes.

   Climate change will affect us in ways we can’t imagine. We must end fossil fuel subsidies and new drilling now.

     @georgetakei Uncle George, we are in positive feedback loop. We need to survive what is coming, as there is no longer a way to prevent it. This is science, not defeatism. Stopping fossil fuel use will help, not stop this. Our best best to save what we have, convert now, ride it out and maintain a future for our children.

     @georgetakei Watched a David Attenborough show about the rapid disappearance of ice in the Arctic and how it affects the polar bear and seals. Heartbreaking. Not to mention how the ocean will rise. Know it’s not just the US, but we aren’t leading the way and we should.

     @georgetakei If y'all just STOP BUYING GASOLINE NOW - then all that other "subsidies and drilling" stuff would probably stop too.
