Global Warming: It's getting ugly out there
By Barcelona: It's getting scary, folks. Here we stand, on the cusp of the long, hottest of all summers we've all been told is coming, with toxic algae blooms in Chinese lakes causing panic (China, where 70 % of waterways and 90% of underground water are contaminated by pollution, according to government figures), and the Epic Drought parching Australia may herald "the first climate change-driven disaster to strike a developed nation", and glaciers and icecaps are melting at twice and thrice the rates predicted by climate models, and whipoorwills are disappearing from swamplands and... SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE...We need some direction here. We need some guidelines. We need laws, rules and regulations. We need to rethink and reorganize and rebuild our entire system of production and trade, our entire tax systems, our entire pricing policies for, well, EVERYTHING! We need someone who sees the big picture, who talks to the scientists (and even better, whom the scientists seek out to talk to!), who knows this backwards. Not just for your sakes in the U.S., but for the rest of us, out here, whose impotent leaders can't do jack unless some giant of an FDR-calibre president lands in your White House in 582 days from now. Because by then he'll have an even bigger mess on his hands.
