Selina Meyer might not have faith in Americans, but the woman who plays her, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, absolutely does.
“The American people are go-getters,” she says in the new issue of PEOPLE. “When there’s a problem, they roll up their sleeves.”
The star, 59, who is isolating in California with husband Brad Hall, 62, and sons Henry, 28, and Charlie, 23, has been watching the coverage and witnessing the determination shown by people as they power through the coronavirus pandemic. It’s one of the reasons she believes climate change can also be overcome.
For example, she cites, simple changes make a big difference. “We can all recycle,” she says. “We can use less plastic. We can waste less food. These are basic things we can all do.”
And as everyone focuses on an economy decimated by the pandemic, she points out that going green is increasingly a money-saver. States like Texas, Iowa and Oklahoma get much of their power from wind, not fossil fuels, saving consumers. Small purchases like energy-efficient light bulbs can also have an impact. “The choices you make when you go to the grocery store or Walmart influence the marketplace,” she says.
She adds, “This crisis is really a stark reminder of the importance of having science drive policy. Whether it’s curbing air pollution or addressing infectious disease or tackling climate change, we really do need to listen to the science if we’re going to protect people.”
Says Louis-Dreyfus, “We can do it. It’s a very doable situation. And it’s a great opportunity for all the countries on this gorgeous plant that we live on.”

If we’ve learned anything at all from this, it’s that computer models cannot be trusted. They might be useful in some circumstances, but it can be disastrous to set public policy based on a computer model which is basically a guess.
Global Warming is going to disappear as an issue. It’s always been a hoax, and people are going to understand that.
Deeeeeeeeep thooouuuughts starring celebrities, whatever those are.
General question for all
How does an article for People Magazine start??
Editor to reporter: Here’s a subject go get the opinion of the least knowledgably person you can find?
Reporter: Oh boy a trip to Hollywood!
Don’t forget to LOG off when your finished.
Dreyfus is a 59 year old clown. She is irrelevant outside of anything involving clowns.

I really wish you could go back and edit posts.
Finally, after billions of years, we have the ability to put the planet’s climate in stasis. Three cheers for the accomplishments of man and science!
The sun disagrees.
We are spending 2 trillion to avoid 2 million deaths in the next 3 months. If we spend another 2 trillion we might have a global temperature .5 degrees cooler in 100 years. Where do I sign?

Exactly. The climate has been changing for billions of years. Now these celebrity geniuses think we can change that somehow.
Virus bright spots. No traffic. Kids not indoctrinated in schools. Cheap gas. Forgetting about celebrities and their opinions.
Try telling that to Georgetown, TX. We're out a fortune due to wind and solar contracts that oblige us to sell the surplus. At a loss with the low price of natural gas.
Go to the sun, at night, and pour water on some of the hot spots.
