Spring and summer have become markedly wetter, hotter and more humid, and winters are getting warmer and significantly less rainy. We're also starting to develop a severe gnat and mosquito problem out here in Wilsonville. I never even saw insects like this around here until mid-2011. The wasp population (especially the yellow jacket population) has increased dramatically since I moved here. I was so happy when I came here because I hardly ever saw stinging insects no matter where I went. Now I'm starting to have to defend myself whenever I go outside for a walk. It's like the southeast all over again.

Yep.
Our growing seasons have changed dramatically, some butterflies and ducks have stopped migrating south, and thousands of hectares of forests are dying off, because it's no longer cold enough for long enough to kill pine beetle larvae.
Not to mention villages slipping into the sea up north and people dying because Medivac planes can no longer land....the ice is too unstable.

So, you are convinced that the coast of Florida will be underwater when the sea levels rise, I take it.
Exactly WHEN do you think that will occur? What will be the NEW "sea level"; as in, how much higher than the present sea level?
How much time do we have to move all the people and buildings away from the area that will be underwater? Or, should we start building dikes, as in The Netherlands?

Why is it that Libs never have an answer as to why it is ok of them to use private jets and limo, but they want the common people to pay for all this global warming CRAP?

Sorry, I was talking about our elected people and the Hollywood stars. They are the ones who love these global warming laws that hurt the poor in their pocketbooks! It would be nice to have a conversation on these websites and get real answers, not childish comments!
