So we might as well try to like global warming. The climate change is not going to ever be too likable, tho.

What we must do is prepare for the changes. Move to higher ground. Be ready for the refugees. Adjust crop schedules.

Here is something I just today began to consider: Dry Ice is compressed CO2, right? So it makes perfect sense that as CO2 expands it holds heat. That -the heat holding properties of CO2- is what the science says is the reason for global warming, so it seems to be a fairly easy way to explain to dunderheads how excess CO2 is, in fact, the culprit?
