This heat is caused by man made out of date fossil fuel burning energy generating utilities. The tens of millions of tons of toxic waste pumped into our atmosphere acts as an atmospheric cap, like a green house, trapping the oppressive heat causing historic 3 figure temperatures for us and all the people on our planet.
One example of what we can do about this is recommended by Texas Scientist Katharine Hayhoe. Watch the attached short video for a positive respectful way to talk about this.
One example of the out of date utilities is the Fayette Coal Fired Power Plant Austin (we) own 40% just 90 mins from here in Fayetteville, Tx. What Dr Hayhoe says is an example that grows the local economy and helps us lead as a Nation in the coming century.
Here is a report on the tens of tons put out by our out of date coal fired power plant and deaths the report attributes to this deadly site:
Look at the hopefulness and action steps Dr Hayhoe shares with us. What if we started doing more of what she recommends?
