I am a Food Scientist who believes in the natural order of things. I accept change and realize change is manifested in many logical ways. One of those changes is in our climate. I am not a weather geek but over the last ten years or so I have noticed obvious departures in normal seasonal weather patterns. In short, weather events of all types are more extreme causing flooding, power outages, sea level rises, etc. A huge example of change in normal seasonal weather manifested itself recently in Texas. After becoming aware of the situation in Houston, Dallas and other cities of the Lone Star state I reached out to my retired geologist brother in The Woodlands, a gated town north of Houston. I casually mentioned, "Isn't climate change a nuisance?" Instead of filling me in about the weather's impact on their safety and well - being, my brother stated, "You are hopelessly wedded to the greatest lie ever ever told." Even though my brother is a scientist he chooses to be a climate denier. And anyone not in agreement is allied to the quote above. He and I cannot discuss our differences in opinion because my brother is, "Just stating the facts." This is a subject which negatively impacts our relationship and it is sad. I would like to discuss "the elephant in the room" but the subject is off limits with him.
