It is fine if Rick Perry and his political appointees gut a serious environmental report regarding the effects of climate change on Galveston Bay; it is as meaningless and as useless as the governor.
It is too late, much too late, to do anything about the man-made effects that are destroying the earth's climate; the effects will kill 90 percent of the human population before 2050 (probably sooner). I'm not making this up to be a doomsayer.
We have played with the fire of our greed too long. Those who know can show the damage, as measured in the rapid rise in carbon dioxide, is happening much, much faster than the model predicted just a few years ago.
Soon the fact that Texas is an unquenchable burning bush will have no meaning because it will become commonplace.
Rick Perry is an icon of ignorance, of insanity harbored in ideology. I just can't imagine how he became a loser to Herman Cain.

Hey Ratzinger, you got this wrong, too!
Herr Ratzinger had a rock concert where a storm hit.
His interpretation?
Sorry dude, that's just wrong. The rain was a sign from "the lord" that you need to stop the child-fuckery and its cover-up that is going on in your church.
His interpretation?
Thank you for your joy and endurance. Your strength is greater than the rain. The Lord with the rain has given us many blessings. In this too you are an example

My Mom is So Funny, page 4
I woke at 5 AM to a squirt of Canadian Geese staging a flight – there were 17 in formation squawking out of the northeast – young ones have about two months left to build flight muscles for the long trip south. Good stuff, watching from my bed, the backyard trees bent by a strong wind, seeing the geese push against it; I like dramatic climate.
Mom has a huge vocabulary for wind and weather. I always thought she was a weather-witch – some people are just sensitive. Once the sky darkened, the air got thick – nearly green – she shivered, “it needs to rain to break the spell.”
She says, “Red sails at night, sailors’ delight; red sails in morning, sailors take warning,” and, “a ring around the moon means rain will come tomorrow.”
Sunshine and heat melt her, she reads whitecaps on the sea, she has no use for ice and snow; she loves rainbows, who doesn't?
I showed her a picture I took, “see the wind,” I said; her answer, “You can’t see the wind!” But she watches anyway, every day.
