Don’t bet the ranch global warming a hoax

December 10, 2019

Are you willing to bet your kids’ and their kids’ futures on the oil companies and their investors’ claim that global warming is a hoax? Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists tell you that is a bad bet.

The world’s major insurance companies tell you that is a bad bet. The New England Journal of Medicine tells you that is a bad bet.

Offshore wind power is a positive step toward combatting global warming, which poses a threat to our kids’ health.

Offshore wind opponents want to bet our kids’ future that the climate scientists, insurance companies, and physicians are wrong. We will not let them make that bet, and neither should you.
