Ah, and now we stumble across the point that annoys me most about all this.
What are we doing about it? Making money, taxing individuals and businesses under the premise that something can be done, that we can save the polar ice caps and stop vast swathes of land being immersed under water.
Yet we can't, we know that if and when they melt, that x inches will be added to sea levels and as a result, massive areas of populated land will be buried under water. This will happen, probably in my lifetime. Yet I haven't seen a single plan for any contingencies when it does.
Nope, but I am taxed a "green" tax on pretty much everything I buy. Is this money being put into a pot to help compensate those who might lose their homes or business? Are woefully inadequate flood defences being re-enforced?

All this by sticking their finger out of the window and invoking childhood memories of sunny summers - remarkable!
I'm not entirely sure of your point.
