    Trump Assertions on Global Climate Change are a Global Joke

    The world is laughing at us. Maybe not all of us, the people, but definitely at Donald Trump’s USA, especially when it comes to climate change.

    From getting married to getting buried, I gotchya covered, man!

    I am an introvert, which means more, and less, than you think.
    Here's a great definition from Introvert, Dear.

    IV Words Founder Martin C. Fredricks IV

    Martin C. “Red” Fredricks IV here. I’m husband to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, dad to three outstanding kids, climate crisis warrior, environmentalist, rabble-rouser, sayer of things people don't want to hear, proud introvert and big-time reader. A ginger, too - ergo the "Red" - although some of it's going white. Cinnamon-sugar, I call it. Tattooed to boot; seven so far; like 'em or not, I don't much care.
