Global squirming

[melchar]

For the love of Dog people - what does it take to get through to the masses that 'global warming' doesn't mean 90 degrees in wintertime, but that weather systems become more active?

Rainfall patterns change, you'll have tornadoes in January and storms will become more violent as it gets warmer, with worse flooding in low-lying regions. Surely THIS can be communicated in a sound bite.

The problem is that the country has become such a greedy capitalistic society intent on avoiding consequences(just look at the stock markets lately and lame-duck "stimulus" package for proof!) that until someone finds a way to show that there will be some immediate gratification or advantage by taking measures to prevent the global warming, the truth is too inconvenient for people to care about. Live it up now and pay for the damages later...it's the American way, yes? We have individuals living here who spend more on just themselves in a year than the entire GDP of many countries out there.

EDIT...oh, and just wait until the Northwest Passage opens and Siberia starts producing bumper crops...I'm sure THAT will start encouraging people to take more drastic measures...ya right.
