Ah, yes! Good old "Yankee Ingenuity!"

Where, oh, where has it gone?

There are a few entrepreneurs out there with a brain—who do not write off the overwhelming scientific evidence for global warming, and that global warming is primarily caused by human beings using the eco-sphere as a garbage dump and septic tank—who are going to be the real money-makers in the near future by accepting what is and coming up with eco-friendly, energy-efficient, non-polluting products. There are fortunes to be made by facing reality and adapting to it.

For example:   the tip of the only iceberg on the planet that is increasing in size instead of melting is the success Toyota has had with the Prius. They can't make them fast enough to meet the demand. In the meantime, look at the sad condition of the American automobile industry.

A little foresight and the willingness to be flexible and innovative.

Species tend to become extinct when they haven't the intelligence, ability, or willingness to adapt to new conditions.
