I think we all feel like the Lone Ranger (or maybe Tonto). We're all watching strange weather events and wondering if they are strange enough to warrant action. Maybe if we all called our elected people and said, "I've been farming for (X) years and the weather patterns I see trouble me. I think something is going on and I want you to get serious about human caused climate change..."

Money does rule until there are enough people committed enough to turn it around.

I'll make calls today to my rep and senators.

Warming, what warming? Greenhouse gases - isn't that a good thing? Can
anyone say "special interests rule"? Especially if the politicos have
money involved?

You're in Virginia and it's that dry? I know the
west has been dry for
years. The OK/TX/KS region is almost like dustbowl
days. We had our
worst
drought in a long time in northern Illinois last
year and we have not
recharged the subsoil yet this year. Kind of
ominous.
