I'm not saying global warming is human-made, only that pretending global warming is not a statistical long-term issue, is like a child making a sand castle when the tide is out and not understanding that high tide eventually comes. Children see only what is front of them now: that's the story of Iraq, of health care reform, of the history of Medicare, Social Security, and the story of the financial meltdown that began in the Bush Administration.
Short term "I want it now- I want what I deserve NOW, I don't care about the future" is the screeching call of the cons and the Beckerheads.
