Miles O'Brien and Bill Nye dicussed the "angry planet" on CNN just now.

They even had "The Angry Planet" as a headline/banner for the segment. Miles was saying it's important to "connect the dots" when we consider the stronger hurricanes, flooding, and other extreme weather. Both agreed there's too much evidence for global warming to ignore, and while there still isn't absolute proof that humans are responsible, "if you were a betting man" you'd want to start acting to limit manmade impacts on global warming. Build more energy-efficient homes, for instance.

It's good that they're finally talking more about this. Unfortunately, it's too little, and probably way too late, and it's tragic that it took two monster hurricanes hitting the Gulf Coast before the "angry planet" finally got their attention.
