We are already seeing much intense weather.

In the US we are in serious denial, and part of it is religion. Part of it is tat we are just starting to feel it. Our neighbors to the south have suffered major floods, droughts and freak weather events. They have no issue with it...it's already affecting their lives in a direct way.

Alas I will refrain from posting any freak weather event not picked by CNN or other news media in the US. That's part of the problem. Our provincialism is killing us...literally.
