7. Climate change. Total chaos. Blame the RepubliCorp deniers (R)

The more Republicons and their ilk around the planet whine and bitch and lie about it, global climate change is upon us full bore.

It is only going to get more intense.

And the overpaid RepubliCorp propaganda pimps had better wise up, stop taking the corporate payola, and tell the TRUTH for once -- so human beings can begin to take sensible action.

I remember being nervous about the snakes that can kill you in just a few seconds and several types of poisonous sea creatures. When we were there the weather was no problem. Things are changing all over these days.
