When asked about global warming during his disastrous Presidency, George W. Bush said, in effect, we'd better adjust to it. At the time he sounded like the fool he is. We still had a few moments in which to slow down or avert the worst consequences of climate change. Today Bush's advice resonates, because we have only two options remaining. We can do nothing and let climate change bring on catastrophes, or we can get ready for what is ahead of us. We can adjust. In smarter countries, preparations have begun. In this country we are still pretending that the cranks who deny science are worthy of debate. We give nutters equal time on TV!
We are not working on a national water system. We are not building dikes to hold back the sea. We are not making major adjustments, just tinkering around the edges. The future? Preparing for the future would require Big Government projects. And anything the government does attacks our freedom. We'd rather die.
