Even if the “threat” was real, most of the USA is a cold barren tundra 6 months of the year. So it is always going to be a hard sell for them. The thought of not-so-cold winters is not an unpleasant thought.

Me, too, between 1961-65.

Me, too. I think we should just claim all of it, bomb shelters, global warming, save the *whatever*, etc.

As a Gen-Xer I can safely say that having grown up thinking that a Soviet nuclear missile was going to explode above our heads any minute and turn us to dust, it's hard to get worked up about the slight possibility that the temperature go up a couple degrees over the next century.

Yep, and as a fellow X-er, I could see clearly from initially learning about the environmental movement that it was an evil movement whose goal was to control private property that those in the movement could not possess otherwise, and to trample on the property rights of our citizens.

Hahaha. I’m pretty sure that Starbucks is thankful for Liberal FArts, Poli Sci, and Art History majors because without them, they wouldn’t have many Baristas. :P
