COLUMN: Politicians blind to changing population

In this day, when almost any position a person takes can lead to the brink of a third war, I’m thrilled to acknowledge that beyond the fact that I learned a smidgeon about the Ice Age in school, I know absolutely nothing about climate change. Therefore, I feel no obligation to weigh in when the subject comes up, socially. I find it amazing the way every topic imaginable becomes politically divisive, these days. The debaters who claim the opinion of some television pundit, I think, are the most annoying and there seems to be plenty of them.
