"Oh, please. Anyone denying that mankind's behavior (and largely American behavior) has had a deleterious affect on the environment in terms of global warming is either profiteering from the raping of our planet or simply a fucking ignoramus. I have no patience for either category. I don't remember this el Niño bullshit when I was a kid 30+ years ago. I don't remember snowless winters and short sleeves in January." Well it happened in around 1912 and 1913. Oh by the way most US west of the Mississippi is snowed in.... again. It's just NYC warming.

Things will only get worse as China, southeast Asia, and India ramp up industrialization.

I find it very hard to believe the water in the ocean was noticeably warmer -- I think the polar bears are deluded
