[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 264354, member: 322"] I live on the water and all I really follow is sea level rise. That's because water level is the best integrator of total planet temperature change over time. The increase in air temperature is a bit misleading as to magnitude since the specific heat of the atmosphere <<<< than that of the seas. Part of the sea level increase is from the infinitesimally small temperature coefficient of expansion of water the rest is largely the net decrease in ice. Bottom line, the sea level is increasing. But it's not the end of the world. The world will survive; it has through many mass extinctions and will again. The dislocations of people and changes in species in areas will cause great angst. And in the short term, some people will make more money if we use don't curb carbon fuel use more and some will make less money. Politics is basically the distribution of money and power. We have had a shift at the top in the US. But having just got back from Ireland and reflecting on their ~5000 years of known human history (roughly picts to celts to vikings to anglo-normans to celts), the political shift we are going through isn't relevant till the shift has remained for a long term. And global warming leading to mass dislocations is occurring at a rate which is the blink of an eye in historical terms. [B] So I think I'll enjoy the game today.
