[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]We've had scientists warning us for [n]decades already and it all comes down to the power/money people, who don't really give a shit about anything but their own security, and won't do a damn thing unless it makes them huge profits and guarantees their personal safety.

Getting government money to act takes Congress, and we know who runs that institution right now -- the power/money men.

The bottom line is that they'd be very happy to see a whole lot of us just float off in the waves or disappear down that bayou sink hole that's swallowing trees right now (or others like it).

Mother Earth will be just fine. I can't say the same for humankind if we continue on our present trajectory.
