Not recognizing that the climate is changing and that it could have a dire affect on our planet is the same as saying over and over ad nauseum, "Saddam Hussien did have WMDs and biological stockpiles that were a direct threat to the United States of America." That's Republican Kool-aid, and so many fools are willingly drinking it. Bush cultists just don't seem to be able to reason anymore. Things are getting very serious down in Georgia. The lakes and rivers are drying up, and now some state's officials say there's only enough water to last for 90 days. Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin said the region should explore piping in additional sources of water — possibly from the Tennessee or Savannah rivers. She even suggested desalinating sea water from Georgia's Atlantic coast. "We need to look beyond our borders," she said." http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2007/10/19/1036568-no-backup-if-atlantas-faucets-run-dry http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071020/ap_on_re_us/southern_drought;_ylt=AtT6ZMfzXTxul9kiE5Mj1fvBF4l4 Hey, come on! Tennessee isn't exactly awash in water these days. Our rivers and lakes are drying up too. To those who kept insisting global warming was a joke, the drying up of water reserves is coming as a shock, and contingency plans are almost non-existent. No one is laughing now.
