When I was a child in central Illinois, we had snow on the ground for
weeks. We don't now. It rarely gets cold until January or February.

Regardless of the cause, natural or human, we are in a serious warming
period. Northern areas are far mor affected at this time, but when the
ice on Greenland and Antarctica melts, many people will suddenly have
beach front property.

Whether we do anything to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, we're going
to have to deal with the changes.
