Anyone doubting climate change is burying their head in the sand. Its here. Its happened, its happening and it will continue to happen. The best we can do is slow it down and try to minimise the damage that we have already caused. Articles like this shouldn't even be making news. But we have so completely denied the problem for so long. One wonders whos best interests are at heart. Sure the earth is constantly evolving and changing, and this is just part of that evolution. But whos to say whether the end of humanity is not part of that evolution, too. At the very least the quality of life for morst people will be lessened. Yes some places will benefit, but the vast majority of the popultation will not. and we will end up spending more money controling the effects tha prevention would have cost in the first place. But forward thinking doesnt win elections. what a sorry lot we are.
