Politicians need to address climate change

Gov. Christie is wrong if he thinks climate famines and fires and floods are not crises.

Hurricane Sandy was worse because of climate change and crop failures around Yakima and salmon dying in the Columbia River are not enough for Republican politicians?

Defunding education results in the disasters we face ,so lets all thank the 1 percent for uniting our nation in demanding clean water, air, and food from local farms.

The Exxon lies about climate science may result in a huge lawsuit ,but fines could fund solar, tidal, and wind energy.

So, hope everyone votes for politicians who believe in science and who hate fires in 2016.
