Afraid isn't the proper term.

Concerned? Yes, like farmers are concerned if they don't get rain. You have to prepare for things you can't avoid. Sure seems to me that the climate is different now then what it was when I was a kid.

The Dark ages were wonderful for humans?? WTF??

Quite frankly I'm sure Russia and Canada could use a little global warming

Neither concerned nor afraid. The earth has been warming and cooling forever...nothing we can do to change that. Our best approach would be to adapt.

So if it starts raining at a rate of 3 inchs an hour, for two weeks, you've got nothing to concern yourself with? After all, nothing you can do about it?

Call me crazy, but I try and prepare for as many different situations as I can. Climate seems different to me, my grandparents, hell everyone I talk to says "I don't remember it ever being....." either cold or hot, which is what climate change does, pushes the climate pendulum harder and futher, so you have bigger swings.

Doesn't mean you don't concern yourself with that, or you'll go the way of the dodo.

Sorry, but, it's been scientifically proven that the longer time passes, the more memory is subject to outside influences and to fading. The average American can't remember what a president did the year before, why would they remember what the weather was like 30 years ago?

We are setting warmest summers on record, and coldest winters on records.

Believing in climate change doesn't mean its man made, doesn't mean that man can do anything to stop or speed it up.

But that doesn't mean you don't prepare, thats just idiotic.

Hell, I can't do anything about the economy not doing well, but I prepare for it.

Concern = prepare. If you aren't concerned, you don't prepare, if you aren't prepared, you die.

Nope, the whole thing is another scheme to fleece the taxpayers and grease the palms of the big corps. Reducing the U.S. into 3rd world status is not about saving the planet, it's about wealth redistribution, part of the NWO. If people die, they chalk that up as a win.


Obama Greenies to Cause Power Blackouts and Rate Hikes - YouTube#!

620 million now without power in India.
Part of the problem is that India relies on coal for more than half its power generation and the coal supply is controlled by a near state monopoly that is widely considered a shambles.
This is what Obama and the lefties would like to see happen in America. Then states would be arguing with eachother about who is taking more than their fair share, like they are now in India.
