Weekend Writing Prompt/JusJoJan —Climate Change

“I don’t believe climate change is a hoax,” Richard said. “I just don’t think it’s going to devour all life as we know it on our planet by, what’s the date, 2030 or something?”

“So you don’t believe 97% of climate scientists who are saying we’ve got only about a decade before there is irrevocable damage to the planet?” Janet asked.

“I just have an easygoing temperament,” Richard said. “I don’t go crazy over things I can’t control.”

68F3F1B9-0E27-4B85-A534-73734CB5DDCEWritten for Linda G. Hill’s JusJoJan prompt word, “gravity,” and for Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt, where the word is “devour” in exactly 108 words. Also for these daily prompts: Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (brush), Daily Addictions (date), and Your Daily Word Prompt (temperament).

And for what it’s worth, I personally don’t agree with Richard on this topic.

    It’s worth noting, in a terrifying way, that in 2008, the Australian government commissioned a study of the potential impact of climate change on fires. The report predicted, reported Paul Krugman in The New York Times a few days ago, that the fires would start earlier and be more severe starting in 2020. The fires were just a tad precocious…

    And still Australia is led, as we are, by a climate change denier.

      They’ll deny climate change until it’s too late.
