U.S. must heed climate change warnings from scientists: Letter

Poughkeepsie Journal

The changing of the climate is a normal expectation. But when scientists issue dire warnings about how society seems to de-emphasize the potential impact of the heating up of the Earth's climate; its time for us to wake-up.



Recently, France President Emmanuel Macron shared his concerns about our government's laxed attitude concerning the importance of managing those factors contributing to "climate erosion." He urged the United States not to retreat from its responsibility in world affairs like the Paris Accord on climate change.



Climatologists have proposed that an increase in the Earth temperature of about two degrees in constant time might be a greater threat than having North Korea with atomic bombs. Humanity is on the edge of becoming the dried bones in the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel.



Climate change could be our flood. You might know of the Biblical story of Noah. His society was warned of a pending disaster if it did not change its ways. Mankind then as it is doing now ignored Noah's warning. Since we are limited in our efforts in combating nature, the Ides of March is measuring our wisdom and weighing the time toward our reckoning.
