It's pretty much been established that global warming has happened repeatedly in the past, and that it will happen again. Global warming is inevitable, and all we can do is move out of the way of the changes that are to come.
After all, if there wasn't global warming, Earth would still be in the last Ice Age from 18,000 years ago, wouldn't it?
Al Gore and the environmentalist left need to shift gears away from stopping global warming, and begin talking about what to do WHEN global warming really starts to hit. They just don't seem to be getting it: if we were to stop all atmospheric pollution today, it would probably delay the onset of global warming, but it wouldn't stop it. That's the science and the only fact that really matters.
We can do what the environmentalists and Al Gore are doing and waste time blaming man's excesses for causing (yeah, right) global warming, or we can deal with the real issues that lay in front of us.
Here's what the establishment needs to be considering and talking about: what we're going to do about the East, West and Gulf Coasts where cities will be underwater and the oceans will be further inland from where they are now. Or when the world starts to cool off following a period of global warming, where growing seasons will be shorter, the days cooler and the winters harsher.
How do we save New York, Boston, Washington DC, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle and countless lesser cities and towns/villages at the water's edge from the rising oceans? Do we build barriers around them to keep the water out? Do we abandon them and evacuate the people who live there? Do we move the cities inland? That's the kind of thinking that we need now.
Every ocean-side nation on the planet must adopt similar lines of thinking as well.
According to liberal think-tanks, the oceans will rise 20 feet by the year 2100. By that measure, that's plenty of time to create a plan and execute it. But will we?
