Letter: Fellow Republicans: Face the facts and act like grownups.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The rising sun ignites the Colorado River with color at the North Wash take out in October of 2021 offering the only nearby option for boaters as low Lake Powell reservoir levels closed Hite Marina just down river in the early 2000s.

I’m doing my best to face facts and act like a grownup. I am a Republican. Those who these days have the gall to call themselves Republicans are something else completely alien to me.

Today’s Republicans are the rioters who are out to commit murder and mayhem upon their enemies. I don’t choose to be their enemy but they see me as an enemy for some reason.

I’m just trying to tell them the facts.

The Colorado River will be dry by 2100 and Florida will be under water by 2100 if we stay the course with fossil carbon energy. Those are scientifically validated facts.

Face facts and act like a grownup. Will this kill the economy? No, quite the opposite, the economy will flourish. As a side bonus, no more pollution. Lower rates of cancer and emphysema.
