Just remember -- the Texas Republican platform for the last election contained the plank "Any discussion of climate change is a direct attack on the oil and gas bidness."

I don't want to see it played out. Did you see the photos of the family in Australia? Forced to flee tornadoes of fire. Cowering in water underneath a pier. The grandmother holding two small children and the slightly older ones huddled next to her and the world on fire behind them.
