I was sure that instead of a rock you’d send a sensible reply, as always

It’s pretty darn cold here in Mexico as well, BTW. We haven’t reached below-zero (centigrades) temps yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Hopefully governments in both our governments will follow the example of Germany, of launching a program to help insulate homes against the harshest winters to come, and in doing so help us save a lot of energy in the process.

I certainly won’t be casting any stones. Although I can only express this as a personal sentiment, having the snow was nice in many ways, although the occurrence as a whole has been very dangerous. But regardless of perspectives and the like, I understand your sentiment and think you make an interesting observation.

…But then again, you always do, my friend!

Before throwing the first stone, allow me to explain:

You see, the only way any sensible international agreement on climate change will be ever reached, is if the rich nations feel the dire consequences of GW first-hand.

The average American citizen doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the inhabitants of Tuvalu, and they wouldn’t offer a second thought if they heard that the island was swallowed by the rising seas on the 6 o’clock news.

(Granted: Tuvalyu is merely a convenient extreme symbol, but nevertheless it’s a sample of the fact that climate change will hurt the most among the poor.)

No. If the American citizens are ever convinced that this is real and serious, is if they experience it personally.

That said, my heart goes to all the people that are suffering right now with no electricity or transportation. No doubt the captains of industry and investors of oil companies are not havin any trouble whatsoever and are complacently observing the catastrophe they have unleashed from the heated comfort of their offices.
