    Bernie Sanders: Utah already suffers from climate change
    For decades, fossil fuel corporations have knowingly polluted our air, poisoned our water, and destroyed our planet in exchange for billions in short term profits. What the scientists are telling us now is that we must act immediately and boldly to have a chance to avert total climate catastrophe.The effects of climate change are not something to worry about for the future — Utah is feeling them now. A decade ago, 65,000 acres in Utah burned in wildfires. Last year, that number was half a

I’m guessing those who have seen the movie were pulling for Wallace for the entire film. His disloyalty to the evil king was not even a speck of my thought process in considering the moral issue portra
