Maybe we should admit that the reason we cannot deal with climate change is not because it is not real, but because we are simply not capable of doing so. After all, this is not the Greatest Generation, engaging in rationing and turning all our industrial might towards a single goal of saving the world from tyranny. No, this is the Me Generation, grabbing and consuming with both hands and sending all our industrial might overseas towards the single of goal of increased profits. For sixty years, all of America's efforts have been turned to one purpose - to gather the most stuff before we die.

Oh, and a tip for all the folks who deny global warming by pointing to the cold winters in the Northeast: As I understand things, apparently one of the possible effects of global warming is the slowing of the Gulf Stream, which would make winter colder up north by not bringing up as much warm water from the south.
Also, by the way, that's not a snow covered snow plow, it's a snow plow that fell through the (thin) ice.
