but I'm afraid human self-centeredness, which usually moderates with maturity and enables successful civilization, has somehow become the MAIN feature of governmental decision-making, here at least.

As I've anticipated, our 'brains' will be the end of us.

We are setting records for cold and wet. May was the coldest and wettest May on record and so was June. So far July is doing the exact same thing. Coldest and wettest July so far on record.....Send some of that sun up this way would you?

Try to start getting them used to that term, or the people that are finally catching on will revert come winter to "global warming? Global warming? It's freezing. There isn't any global warming. That was just an El Nino caused heat wave, this summer."

I remember one tea partier spewing last year that it was freezing, so it couldn't be global warming. When someone said "It's Climate Change", the tea partier said "you can't change the words like that" They had no prescript for that. lol. Climate change covers all the irradic weather.

It was somewhere here on the internets.
