Regardless of whether or not climate change is man-caused or not (though I certainly believe we're not helping any,) the AAAS, NASA, USCAP, Exxon and even the Pentagon have said the time has come for significant changes in our emissions, and that we start taking steps to prepare for the radical weather that is going to happen whether or not we are at all responsible for it. Mother Nature doesn't care who was responsible, because the weather is changing, growing increasingly more radical, and she is still going to forfill her end of the bargain.

Unfortunately, it's all falling of deaf ears. Apparently a War on Terror, Britney Spears going to jail, and raiding Karazahn on World of WarCraft are all more important than preventing lives from being lost, cities from being flooded, or water shortages all across North America, (as if they aren't bad enough already.) The public thought Katrina was bad? They haven't even fixed the levees! Or at least not well enough to prevent another Category 3 hurricane from wiping out half of that city, again.
