Hmm. Some impacts are hard to ignore. I think what is being ignored here is that it isn't just about impersonal data. Real live people are seeing real live changes in their environment due to warming. It is not a figment of their imagination as some would suggest. The causes and what the future holds, we can debate, but the fact of the warming itself, today and during recent memory, shouldn't be ignored. It seems that whenever the facts on the ground don't support the GOP ideology, they fall back on the thought that "it all must be a figment of their imagination". First McCain's economic adviser, Gramm, says that this recession was just a "Mental recession"...it's all just in our heads, even as massive layoffs are occurring. Now some GOP members are trying to convince us all that the melting ice is also a figment of our imagination, even as people who live in those regions are seeing real live changes in their environment. One has to start wondering if the GOP itself isn't just a figment of our imagination as well.
