R.I.P. Oklahoma

After reading the replies it just makes me wonder what is it that makes someone so willing to dismiss the massive scale of human suffering that seems to be headed our way and to minimize the importance of the global threats of  greenhouse gas induced climate change. While taking a 14 hour flight from Toronto to Okinawa I watched a movie that was totally inappropriate to my 9 x12 screen called Chasing Ice. The photographer, originally a global warming skeptic, goes to heroic efforts to create a video-document which shows miles-wide glaciers in various places from Greeenland to Columbia shrinking dramatically over a few years. In his 2nd major book on Global warming called Earth, Bill Mckibben gives a thorough global overview of the progress and momentum of GW. It shows how deep the shit is. 

While extreme storms cannot be individually related to a global change in climate, it has to be noted that  the increased frequency and strength of hurricanes floods, droughts, heat waves and tornadoes are all predicted by the climate models.  The oceans are also getting measurably more acidic directly from carbon forming carbolic acid. 

Will climate change denier and Fema antagonist J Inhofe will have a harder time getting elected?  
What about Obama and the Democrats? : yes to fracking, yes to tar sands, no to Copenhagen, no in Durbin, yes to petrochemical dispersants to "fix" the gulf spill, yes to continued drilling, yes to seizing reporters' private communications, yes to big banks, yes to growing military budget....... In the spirit of George Carlin and at the risk of repeating myself:
Fuck Jason Velveeta and fuck his little dog too.

There was a helicopter shot of this massive funnel cloud just hovering over a suburban area- it seemed like forever. The commentator was rather dispassionately describing the scene, commentating on tornadoes of the past and what causes them to form, etc., as people were obviously being mutilated in the distance.
