Recently, President Trump addressed the United Nations where he told the world that climate change is a greatest con job. He also said that this was being predicted by stupid people. I disagree.

There is detailed scientific data that paints the picture that the planet’s climate is changing. Recently the American Meteorological Society released their State of the Climate 2024 and provides the evidence that the world is heating up. The report tells us that the oceans are getting warmer and records continue to fall when it comes to the heat. 

When NASA was actively engaged in climate study (they recently pulled back), they reported on how climate change was impacting the ocean. Here is their assessment.

The ocean is warming  Sea levels are rising  The ocean is getting a little greener  Ocean warming is altering hurricanes  Ocean acidification and heating are altering marine ecosystems  Sea ice is thinning and shrinking Ocean circulations may be changing

NO! Climate change is NOT a con job. It is happening and happening fast. We need to face the facts and implement the needed changes.
