Proof that you can be a doctor or a member of Congress and still possess zero critical thinking skills. Kelly is either extremely ignorant, or is purposely trying to mislead and scare you. Next time Kelly lectures us about ‘science’, remember this:
This is not unprecedented, and it’s not your fault.
Minnesota’s most extreme heat wave occurred in 1936. The worst forest fire in Minnesota history (by far, in terms of human impact and overall devastation) was the Cloquet-Moose Lake Fire of October 1918.
Your risk of dying from climate-related disasters has dropped 99% since 1920. Believing the climate is in ‘crisis’ is delusional, dangerous, and untrue.
Legislation won’t change the weather. Minnesota’s Carbon Free Energy Standard will do absolutely nothing to decrease average temperatures or severe weather anywhere in the world (even MN).
Minnesota’s climate continues to become milder - fewer temperature extremes, fewer hot days and heat waves, fewer multi-year droughts, no long-term increase in severe weather, longer growing season.
Boreal forests in the Boundary Waters region naturally experience fires. This will happen with or without humans.
