He finally took his own advocacy to heart?
Regardless. What do you think about the OP topic? 
Ahhh, St. Al.
I was never a fan of Bob Dole and I'm also not big on the idea of knowing this "god" fellow's so-called "will"... whatever that is, precisely.If "An Inconvenient Truth" had been produced and narrated by Bob Dole, y'all would be screamin' about how its God's will that we adopt more energy conservation, and produce less CO2.
...and you UNDENIABLY know it. :yes:
Lets...
What is with all this "god" fellow nonsense? Is this supposed to appeal to me or are you projecting onto an imagined audience? That said, wouldn't it be more reasonable to go after those who are truly polluting their brains out - like China and India... Just sayin... If you really want to make a meaningful difference, that is.
Since I don't own a car, I'm hard pressed to see how I could trim my carbon footprint in any meaningful way. America can become energy independent if it had the political will to do so... Heck even moving to LNG would be a boon.
That sounds almost like a racist slur. So you think isolationism is a good policy?
Well, if you can manage to ween people off the government teet long enough to take the required jobs.
Who are "the Pugs"? I'm unfamiliar with the term outside the name of a type of dog.
Yes, comrade. I will get right on it. Power to the proletariat!
Having studied weather patterns and severe storms for 3 decades, I find it mildly interesting.
Um, the scientists said they thought it might be unstoppable. Shouldn't we feel them out a bit to see if it is worth the effort?
How do you propose to fortify structures to withstand F5 and the legendary F6 class tornadoes? Um, you can't.... unless you like deep holes. Likewise building to withstand Cat5 Hurricanes is easier said than done. Why not move people away from the lower, most affected regions instead. Do folks really need houses on those glorified sand bars off the Florida coast?
My guess is that it needs a planetary response as it is a global challenge. How you would manage that without a totalitarian political system hellbent on effecting change is a bit beyond me. My guess is a lot of people will have to die before there is the political will to do anything meaningful.
Better than power to the plutocrats. We (as a species) have tried that route (deregulated capitalism) in many nations through thousands of years. The result in every civilization has been the same. Aristocrats and peasants. The one thing our nation was founded to fight against.
We should....and they don't.
Agreed.
Should we take action? Simply fortify our infrastructure for the coming storms (literally), or both fortifying infrastructure and work hard to decrease CO2 emissions?
Should such actions (if you think them necessary) be the responsibility of individual people and businesses (with a whole lot of finger crossing)? Or does this planetary level event warrant some kind of governmental or multi-governmental response? If the latter, then how is it all gonna get paid for? And how fast need it occur?
Take action on multiple fronts (prevention, rezoning & fortification) by individuals, business & gov.

"They" don't know how irreversible it is, since climate models are a primitive work in progress. But many of the measures we could take against AGW have other benefits, eg, reduced pollution, energy independence.
Actually "Algore" is an Arabic term for "plump old sanctimonious bore".
:sorry1: Antarctica is a land mass. It is covered by ice, often kilometers thick, but underneath it is soil. In this map, the grey is where the ice sticks out into the ocean, while the white is where the ice covers the soil.
. Melting Antarctica and Greenland means dumping all that landlocked water into the sea. ("blub blub" goes Florida and Denmark).
