America is not the center of the universe, even if you seem to think so.
Side note, but have you noticed how the number of people who attend a rally is now promoted as a reliable measurement of interest in that movement? I see both sides doing this.

Yeah it will surely effect them as they are the ones who will be paying the bill for this madness.

Yeah my kid is laughing at me because I been giving him sheet all summer about the two a day practices in the hundred degree heat they are gonna have once high school football starts. It's been in the low eighties the last two weeks. Now that has nothing to do with climate change but if it were in the hundreds the global warming cult would be screaming the world is ending. Long as the sun rises in the morning we will be fine. Soon the cultists will want to launch a shield into space to deflect the sun rays most likely to save us all and when it goes haywire will doom the planet.

Something tells me you'd be the only one screaming.

CNS, indeed. Kind of like me quoting "Green Friends of the Earth" or Coalition to Stop the Tar Sands."

I find this "no one believes in climate change" rhetoric interesting. There's been thread almost daily with this new marketing strategy. Anyone know where the conservatives got it from?

You would be right about that! It will be much, much more costly to try and slow down or reverse the trend... assuming it would even be possible that late in the process. Maybe the off world transportation and planetary populating technology will be functioning that soon. Perhaps some of those people making the trek will look down on what was home and realize, "Ya know, it really wasn't flat after all".

Well, if you can't prove, then just say it will take one hundred years to occur. Meanwhile, we had hundreds of years of a Little Ice-Age, the planet slowly warmed out of it, naturally, and no one knows how much more it will warm up, or if the planet will fall back into the LIA. that's right, no one knows, not even people who claim to predict one hundred years into the future, know.
