House Bill HR 2454 passed by a squeaking seven votes, 219 to 212. In the midst of news blitz on Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawsett, the most important news was on page 10 and hardly noticed; that was the weak Climate Change bill passed by the House of Representatives. Does anyone know what the temperature has to be to cause heat stroke? Only 100 degrees Fahrenheit for a human who isn’t sweating or who is not drinking enough water to cause sweat. Yesterday it was 104 degrees in Castro Valley, California, a city with a history of relatively moderate temperature – until lately that is. In a few years, probably less than ten, it will get up to 115 to 120 degrees on the hottest days in Castro Valley, a very dangerous level. Heat Stroke will be a common occurrence. Livermore, a few miles east in the hotter valley, temperatures are usually 10 to 15 degrees hotter, so it will see 125 to 130 degree weather; IN ONLY TEN YEARS FROM TODAY! Thousands will die, perhaps including my children and grandchildren who live in the valley cities. So, anyone who voted against the bill is simply in denial. And, those who spoke against the bill because they don’t believe that Climate Change is coming, rather they choose NOT to believe, are attempting murder – murder of my children. I hold them in great contempt for that reason. Click here for a voting record of the Bill. Even though you can find your Representative in the list, these are the ones who voted “No” from California, Georgia and Indiana, states and their city of residence in locales where I have a particular family interest in; my brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews who may die because these Representatives didn’t do their job:
