Ho? How is that possible? Between the Kyoto Protocol, the 'leadership' of the United Thie...I mean Nations, and the voluntary not-voluntary 'switch' to 'high efficiency' everything...and it's made no difference whatsoever?

Gee. I sure do hope some people are building new housing for the water rise. Since there'll be a lot more ocean, there should be plenty of room to build seascapes (or maybe even, dare we dream, underwater domes?). Probably want to get started on that immediately so we can profit from it, too. Not that 8,000,000 companies aren't already doing the same no doubt, since it's an unavoidable tragedy that will affect tens of millions of people - the literal definition of a captive market.

It's too bad we can't somehow find a way to cloudseed it away, given all the cloudseeding companies in service worldwide. Alternately, perhaps we should stop spraying so many things into the sky if it's causing a problem, yeah? I mean c'mon, China uses HOWITZERS for it's cloudseeding! What a gig. Store this howitzer, fire it every so often, get paid by the government. How do I get that job? Erm...other than moving to China, of course.
