Global warming...is anyone listening?

The announcement that global warming is approaching the point of no return doesn't seem to faze anyone. I just participated in a poll on www.canoe.ca that asked "How seriously do you take this warning?" The results are as follows:

Very seriously - 53.2%
Somewhat seriously - 18.8%
Not at all - 28.0%.
The percentages are based on the 1015 responses so far.

I can't believe that just over half of us think that this is a serious situation! Do the others think that at any moment scientists will have a big conference and tell the world, "Gotcha! We're only kidding! We can't believe you fell for it! Please...continue to pollute and destroy your children's world without thinking about the consequences."

Hail the almighty dollar!!
