Z,
It's not about you. You realize how much of the center of America has had historic droughts in the last year? It's not going to be easy to adapt to when we can't grow food in the areas that we normally do. I mean, maybe the U.S. will make it work because we have guns and money, but Jesus, hundreds of millions of people could die. In fact, it seems likely that that will happen in the next century. Are those hundreds of millions just not trying hard enough to adapt?
Let's get one thing straight. Natural disasters, droughts, and disappearing farmland has occurred throughout all of recorded history. Hundreds of millions, if not billions, have died as a result.

None of this was brought about with the advent of global warming. You may argue that it could be happening a little more often, but that's a hard case to prove, even then it's a weak basis for drastic anti-CO2 regulations like the kind environmentalists think we should adopt.
Three months ago, I couldn't get to work for ten days thanks to the worst hurricane NYC's ever seen. Give it ten years and that very well could be the norm.
Hurricane Katrina was supposed to be the "new normal." We haven't seen another Hurricane Katrina since. Even Sandy didn't compare.
