why am i still surprised that some people don't believe in global warming?
whether you think humans are to blame, or its a government scare tactic, or a natural cyclical occurrence every few million years...
there are
real consequences that we (read: YOU) will have to deal with in this lifetime
whether you want to acknowledge it or not, your life will be affected (as small as a rise in the cost of your Starbucks coffee or as big as severe coastal flooding in New York City)
but then again, lots of people don't believe in evolution either
gawd. sometimes i just sit at my desk and shake my head
