Listen, I am trying to be as reasonable as possible. But I am starting to think that the government is preparing us for something really special. I am not going to call anyone crazy. In fact, it may even be a set up. This does not make sense at all- especially following this mass incident. It seems as if they are numbing us and softening our expectations...
Absolutely insane. The climate is ALWAYS changing, and we have and will adapt to it. Ice used to cover most of the USA....several times...so that shows that Earth warms and cools...and all of that happened millions of years before humans were on the planet at all!
Sea level rising, drought and severe weather, we can expect more displaced people.

Drawing one of the strongest links yet between global warming and human conflict, researchers said
Monday that an extreme drought in Syria between 2006 and 2009 was most likely due to climate change, and that the drought was a factor in the violent uprising that began there in 2011.
The drought was the worst in the country in modern times, and in a study published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the scientists laid the blame for it on a century-long trend toward warmer and drier conditions in the Eastern Mediterranean, rather than on natural climate
variability.
What began as civil war has since escalated into a multifaceted conflict, with at least 200,000 deaths. The United Nations estimates that half of the country’s 22 million people have been affected, with more than six million having been internally displaced.
Earth’s climate may be more sensitive to increased carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to a new study that suggest the impact of greenhouse warming has been significantly underestimated. Researchers from Binghamton University in US examined nahcolite crystals found in Colorado’s Green River Formation, formed 50 million years old during a hothouse climate.
They found that carbon dioxide levels during this time may have been as low as 680 parts per million (ppm), nearly half the 1,125 ppm predicted by previous experiments.
The only direct measurement of carbon dioxide is from ice cores, which only go back less than 1 million years. The researchers are trying to develop ways to estimate ancient carbon dioxide in the atmosphere using indirect proxies.
There's one here in California and we can't keep immigrants out of this place.
