Climate challenge

The President talked today about climate change, saying as he has said before, that it is an existential threat, meaning the end of the world. Climate change is caused by an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere and this is caused in part by the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. He was confused on two issues. The first happens to many people where he talked about weather instead of climate when he mentioned how hot it was in many parts of the world. Here is a real life example of weather. In 1936 in Parshall, ND the temperature dropped to 60 below and in the summer it rose to 121 degrees in Steele ND. Here is another more extended example. Dust Bowl, name for both the drought period in the Great Plains that lasted from 1930 to 1936 and the section of the Great Plains of the United States that extended over southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas, the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, and northeastern New Mexico. His second mistake was assuming that wind and solar were the answers to the problem of climate change. As long as experts believe that, they are part of the problem because the solution is nuclear power. Those who have studied the issue without bias know that nuclear is the answer.
