Talk Tuesday: Climate Change and things we don't want to Know

So here's a thought. Climate Change is no longer something that is going to happen. It is now well into being established history. Industries from construction to shipping to insurance to agriculture are all having to adjust their practises to accommodate the new realities of a world where climate change is happening and nobody is doing anything to stop it.

And yet we still talk like the consequences are in the future. Miami in particular and Florida in general is already having to deal with an increasingly floody day to day. The Northwest passage is ice free for much of the year, a previously unthinkable phenomenon. Rainfall patterns are shifting, changing growing seasons and adjusting what land is and is not arable, and having a terrifying effect on forest fire season. And of course there are the tropical storms.

No single one event can can be called climate change, and this is what the deniers cling to.

But what about the rest of us?

Even a majority of Americans (63%), Internet famous as the world's climate denier believe that climate change is a threat.

So if we aren't doing remotely enough, and we aren't. What should an individual do if they want to survive and or thrive in the changing world?

Find out the likely impacts on your area and plan accordingly. If nothing is going to change on a large scale until its too late, then the big winners in a post climate change world will be the people who acted like Noah, and not the ones who acted like Chicken Little.

Don't tell people that the sky is falling (not like I'm doing) most won't listen. Or, if you must, only tell enough that you find a few people willing to work with you. After all, you'll need manpower for what I am recommending.

But seriously, don't play chicken little and warn people, build your ark instead.
