Feeling the effects of global warming?
by Joseph Romm

As the 2006 hurricane season begins, three questions hang over Florida.

• Were the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons just part of a natural cycle, or have we entered a new period of global-warming-enhanced hurricane seasons?

• As global warming leads to ever-rising sea levels, how will that affect low-lying South Florida?

• What can the state do to help avert the worst climate change impacts?

recent hurricane seasons were part of a natural cycle, but one that may have been exacerbated by global warming

It's much much much much much worse than that. We've just started to see "exacerbated by global warming". Even if we completely stop greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow, a billion people will be killed or displaced within your lifetime.

The liberals are right and the conservatives are dead wrong. This is why we have to kick the bastards out.
