Tom,

    Certainly the best way to deal with things that you don't want to
    hear is to not read about them ! Time magazine is just one of a
    thousand journals and it has most likely consolidated it's
    conclusions from the myriad scientific publications that have
    published the findings of thousands of scientists throughout the
    world. There is a large growing body of experts who have recognized
    the threat of sudden climate change and most of the governments of
    the world are taking steps to deal with it. Our non participation in
    the Kyoto protocol was largely political and economic. We protested
    the exemption of the developing countries from stringent controls of
    emissions, but we also recognized the fact that we are the largest
    polluter and that we would have to put a crimp in our economy if we
    were to do what is needed to be done. The biggest question now is
    not WHETHER climate change is taking place, but whether it can be
    mitigated and whether we are past the point of no return ! 

    History is full of examples of brain dead people who sank with their
    ships........
