"Two things could put climate back on the agenda by fall. One would be a run of heavy weather—the heat waves, droughts, and hurricanes that argue eloquently to Americans that the climate problem is real and that inaction will cost far more than action."

That is stupidest thing I've read. So now heat waves and hurricanes are great signs of global warming. I am an environmentalist, but I guess the kind that buys into BS. This kind of crazy talk is easily sold to people who freak out when the TV anchor does their weekly announcement of "There is something in your house that can kill your kids. Tune in at 11 to find out what it is."

There has always been heat waves and there will be more in the future. Hurricanes more powerful than anything we've seen in the past 30 years have been happening for millennia. When it's really cold they say it's global warming. When it's really hot they say it's global warming. When there is drought it's global warming. When there is too much rain, it's global warming. I stopped worrying about global warming because I realize that no one can agree on what the consequences really are. There is no such thing as perfect weather. Never has been and never will be.
