global warming - name change?
ok, since some out there don't get it, we need to move to change the name. My partner suggested 'bad weather' since they don't seem to understand complex thoughts. Any other good ideas?

1. Some people have been trying "global climate change"
It's important to leave "global" in there as it prods the average Joe to look beyond his own neighborhood.

6. I considered that
we want people to look, but at times it seems as if they are fearful of considering anything beyond their own backyard...

11. You won't find anyone to disagree that the climate changes. Debate over.No social change will occur.
