Coordinating Conjunctions and Conjunctive Adverbs

This sentence is a comma splice. Two independent clauses may be joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction. These two independent clauses are joined by a comma and a conjunctive adverb. A conjunctive adverb does not have the power of a coordinating conjunction. The simple fix for this sentence is to add a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb, however.
