Do you think 1+1=47 also? Because that logic makes just as much sense and denying climate change.

Name anybody that denies climate change.
Perhaps these discussions would be different if everybody was clear on terminology.

The main disagreement is whether or not humans have "caused' it or whether or not humans can alter it.

The Mississippi river is so low down south that they can barely navigate it anymore. This is getting real folks.
Lakes in Oklahoma are also quite low. Towns big and small, which depend on those lakes for water are worried about the lakes going plum dry, if spring rains don't return as heavy as usual. Already some places are having to ration water, such as Norman. Water rates may greatly increase, in order to force people to conserve. Ever heard that someday water may be worth more than oil?

Unlike other towns, my town relies off a large lake always fed by a major river, the Arkansas. So no water rationing in sight here, luckily.

This news story tells the story of a nearby lake about to dry up that several tiny towns depend on for water: http://www.stwnewspress.com/local/x2...r-of-drying-up
