No one remembers who Edward Everett is. He spoke for a couple hours at Gettysburg. That speaks for itself. There really doesn't need to be much in response to those who deny that climate is an existential threat, so I will just say two…

Again, it has to be pointed that there is a level of being completely ridiculous that two straight White men are debating all the issues of equality and equity as if we have faced them all our lives. We can't be the judge or the jury in…
