Recognition of the reality of climate change is cyclical. A balmy winter is merely nice, and news from Southern Hemisphere heatwaves is faint, and obscured by the other natural disasters the South is routinely subject to.
Clarity increases every northern summer as the largest populations of first worlders max out their communal power supplies in search of personal cool breezes.
It is for this reason that it this summer of 2006 that concensus has finally been reached - even the most rabid small government neoconservative has gotta admit its kinda hot.
The tipping point for our minds has been reached. Too bad it is probably ten years after the physical tipping point.
