Do you think the higher CO2 levels in our atmosphere due to climate change affects your COPD?

This government sponsored propaganda is just that. There are no opinions, just facts. The fact is that only human egos can affect climate change. Our activities do NOT change anything appreciably in reality - just in the minds of people who think they are smarter than us. They are not. As humans, we are insignificant specks on nature's horizon. Yes, we are filthy, polluting creatures. But in the long term we don't really even exist, we are a blip on a chart that is otherwise silent. Climate change is purely a function of nature, and no amount of ego will change the outcome. Sorry, gov.net, but mother nature does not recognize your authority to distort statistics at your whim. It will continue to operate as it always has, in its own cycles, without regard to us. In a million years, we will not matter, just as we don't now. We are only legends in our own minds.

Of course, Janet is right! I do have some strong views on the politics, but there is no denying it affects us all. I actually grew up in some of the most extreme places on Earth, as a kid, like Manila, Panama, Wyoming, and Texas (from the Equator to the high mountains), but I still never experienced then what is happening these days with weather extremes. I think those of us over 70 can easily testify that the climate has changed. When I was young, I reveled in my ability to adventure on in it all, but now, not so much! Been rode hard and put away wet often in my life, and I have the scars (and x-rays) to prove it. These days I am frequently amazed by how much my body reacts to the slightest changes in all phases of weather. And not to be outdone, Mother Nature set another new record right here yesterday, with the biggest temperature swing ever recorded in Texas in one day - 58 degrees! From heat wave to ice storm with ridiculous speed! It dropped from 86 to 28. Crazy! My body doesn't like it one bit, either. It figures that as the climate got more extreme my body would become more sensitive to it. But Murphy's Law has always reigned supreme.
