So will Amsterdam.

People seem to have a hard time differentiating between "weather," "local conditions," and "climate."

As I wrote on another thread, there is no scientific doubt whatsoever that the earth is warming. The only doubt (whether much of it is due to human industrial activities) has now been laid to rest by it foremost proponent.

Only two arguments are left for ignoring it. One goes as follows:

"But it won't get really bad for another seventy-five years. I won't even be here! Anyway, the future can take care of itself! What's more the Lord won't let it happen, because the earth was made for man and not the other way around. They'll fix it at the last minute, like they always do, with technology that hasn't even been invented yet! Get real!"

The other is:

"Who the hell cares? There's nothing they can do about it, so carpe diem, y'all! Mmmmmm, more profits and products for my quality of life!!"
