Let's pretend that we don't believe the Mississippi River Valley ha sendured the greatest flood in 8 decades.. Or that Joplin Missouri just got flattened in what is shaping up to be the deadliest tornado season on record... or that Texas is in a drought of historical proportions. That's just here off the top of my head.
Let's also pretend that heat waves didn't decimate the Russian crops last summer, or that the 2 billion people who depend on glacial melt for water are going to be ok.
After all, reality is subjective. It's all in what you believe.
