I am old enough to remember Ronald Reagan claiming trees cause pollution, and that, once you've seen one "Redwood" in California...you've seen them all! And this was while he was supposedly still "sane"!
Folks better take global warming *very* seriously, not just for us. That seems to be the thinking.."Oh it's not going to affect me.."..etc. etc. There is nothing normal about June-like temperatures, in Canada and Northern U.S. in February. You now need a boat and just a Spring jacket to get through much of the Arctic in January. Not normal...period. When they first discovered the hole in the Ozone layer over Antarctica, the scientists where so freaked out, they thought their instruments where not working. With the number of SUV's and air-conditioners out there today, people don't seem to be interested in science and logic.
IMHO..
