Good read. McKibben is so right on. I was watching TV this morning and a man in the midwest in charge of tracking tornados was asked if all this weather was related to global warming. He cautioned us all to avoid thinking like that. And he is right - no single event proves it, but someday someone will connect the dots.
Chicago, Seattle and NYC all have climate change plans in various stages of development. The folks in the know know things are way past serious and are moving ahead, even at the city level of government. I think they have given up trying to present the science to the public. And the topic is so serious, difficult, sad and demanding of sustained thought, no one really wants to go on and on about it. People won't listen for long enough to get it. And certainly don't want any more bad news than is already out there. Not having a job takes precedence over climate change. --- In [email protected], "Rick Archer" <rick@...> wrote: > > http://action.350.org/signup_page/connections >
