    THE PREMATURE EVACUATION FROM CLIMATE CHANGE EXCITEMENT

    Global Warming Is Coming, but Climate Hysteria Doesn’t Help Anyone; The Guardian's dire report of a climate-change catastrophe unfolding in Miami is a case of premature evacuation

    Michael Grunwald, July 14, 2014 (Time)

    “…I’ve described [Miami’s] South Beach as the canary in America’s coal mine for climate change, and the canary has started coughing a bit, but it isn’t dead or even very sick. I’m sorry to spoil the climate porn, but…[while the changes] are harbingers of a potentially catastrophic future, they are not currently catastrophic. They are annoying…[and so is] yellow climate journalism…[L]et’s get real. The Pacific island of Kiribati is drowning; Miami Beach is not yet drowning…We should fight global warming — and the powers that be, including Senator Marco Rubio and Governor Rick Scott, should stop looking away — because it’s a potential disaster for Miami and the rest of this very nice planet. But we shouldn’t pretend it’s a disaster now…I get why the Obama Administration wants to emphasize that global warming is a today issue, not a someday issue. I understand that stories about how climate change is already affecting our cities and our farms and our lives…can make the issue feel more pressing to ordinary Americans. But fortunately, the effects are not yet calamitous; the reason we ought to DO SOMETHING is that they’ll get calamitous if we don’t…” click here for more
