The climate is changing. Globally, of course. But also in Washington, where growing numbers of Republicans are jumping behind policies that would result in meaningful action on climate change.
Here’s how Representative Frank Lewis, a Republican from oil-rich Oklahoma and ranking member on the House Science Committee, introduced a hearing last month called, “The State of Climate Science, and Why it Matters.”

That is progress. It may be more practical to focus on minimizing pollution - given that the pollution of air, land, and water which humans create drive the the problems we collectively refer to as "climate change" i.e. the trends we see in weather patterns over a few hundred years. And most of what is discussed about climate change is associated with pollution. Pollution is what is fouling the nest of the food chain at many levels, including from the bottom up. And when it is a problem at the bottom of the food change that does not speak well of everything else. Sead spaces in the ocean with little or no O2, critters that feed on plankton being full of bits of disintegrated plastic that kills them, visible extinction of species.
I do wonder though if looking for and observing some of the things we did not know to look for in the past, makes it seem like there are many "new" problems. Maybe they are not new at all, and maybe they are no worse now than they have ever been . . .
