Despite the denials of naysayers convinced somehow that human-generated climate change does not exist, evidence of global warming, melting icecaps, rising seas, severe weather and ravishing drought mounts on a daily basis.

See many of Bill’s climate-related conversations here and review relevant articles and commentary.
