Kerry, other Dems say hottest year on record a wake-up call on global warming


"Sen. John Kerry and other advocates for climate change legislation say data showing that 2010 was tied for the hottest year on record should prompt action.

'How many times do we have to be smacked in the face with factual evidence before we address global climate change? Report after report keep confirming it’s getting worse every year,' Kerry (D-Mass.) said in a statement Wednesday.

Kerry added: “Will we find common ground and adult leadership or keep piling the science on a shelf to collect dust?'"

It's so cold here in Ottawa that I had to leave my car idling for an hour before it was warm enough to drive down the block for breakfast.

Wait, what?

Good on Kerry for calling attention to those pesky fact-like things.

2. Many will refuse to ever be awoken and don't care unless things disastrously affect them.
Personally I think it is too late to stop global warming, but nothing is really being done to deal with both the simply negative and the disastrous consequences of it.

I sure wish that the first choice of a name for the phenomena would have been climate change.
