1. That requires consensus, which will only happen when the lies are discredited

As long as we let liars lie, nothing will get fixed.

2. That's known and in the meantime we can't stop planning & working

on building a better country and world.

3. The majority of the earth's oxygen comes from the oceans.

When we imperil ocean plant life, including coral, we imperil ourselves.

4. As A Life Member Of The Sierra Club And Former Volunteer Executive Of Same, I Add My Endorsement

Senator Warren is spot on in her position and I am grateful to her for continuing to raise awareness.

Climate change is a growing and urgent threat but ocean acidification will cause habitat collapse and mass starvation far sooner than we reach an increase in global average temperatures of 3°C!

As we implement the Green New Deal, the Blue New Deal must be a core plank in that platform of reforms.

5. The support we receive from oceans is vital to life, the subject needs

far more attention and awareness when discussing the climate crisis and all.
