Here's a picture of my wife and two sons with my friend, Maria, at her ancestral home in Fluorn. Her now-deceased husband was a dear friend and work colleague of mine.

What is the insuperable line?
How much evidence must there be
To prove what is plain for all to see?
Must there be unanimous consent -
Are we now ruled by sole dissent -
In the progress of time?

Global warming is a fact. It is happening, and at an accelerated rate. The ice is melting. The grim speed of the glacial retreat is there for all to see. It can no longer be denied. There is no point in arguing. The continued debate over the cause has all the absurdity of arguing over shuffleboard scores on a sinking Titanic. We are past the tipping point in the natural balance; and there is nothing that can be done to counteract the colossal elemental forces now set in motion - it is unstoppable. All that can be done at this late date is to deal with the inevitable consequences that are predictable, if not calculable to a mathematical certainty. It is only a matter of time.
Maybe you should plant a tree...?

Just because you plant trees on your patch of the desert doesn't mean that anthropogenic climate change isn't real DJ. 97% of real scientists believe it is a fact.

Oceanfront property in Arizona, the Sea of Cortez will be in your backyard, I fear. Some believe this latest drought is just the beginning of the end for us in the southwest corner of the country.
We're looking at Oregon or bust for our retirement. Maybe an earthship hobbit hole is in our future.

Lot's of these maps.

No, but you're close. Why would the S.O.C. be in my backyard?
You know, I use to surf Baja a lot & I'm thinking this might be cool(?)
Anyway...

After watching the series "Portlandia" I decided that that commie lib place would be just right for me.

Then I did a zillow search of houses for sale in the price range I could comfortably afford and nothing came up. Then I raised it by 50K to the max I could stretch and all that came up was dumps.

I don't know how high I would have to go before I found a place that I would actually consider living in, and I don't want to find out either.

That place is expensive!

This comment shows how stupid the Left is when it comes to solving this problem.
Turn off MSLSD & spend a lousy 20 minutes & learn something about this subject & what it's going to take to reverse it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgmssrVInP0
