Not long ago on these pages I said that while I know global warming to be a serious threat, I didn't think the science has reported we have reached the tipping point. (Took some flack for that little remark!) 

Well. Today John Kerry, our Secretary of State said that global warming is a threat more serious than terrorism. 

That's sobering! This guy has access to the best science on the planet. 

And, Mr. Trump wants to return the coal miners back to digging coal, and if we know ONE thing it's that coal fouls the air more than any othe carbon fuel. 

PS: On another note: I feel for the miners who have lost, or will lose, their jobs. And I think Trump is clever to talk about it and gain sympathy from them, and others who have lost low skill jobs. WE ..whomever...reallly need to have a look at that and find SOME solution for folks who will never have high skill abilities. Trouble ahead on so many fronts.
