climate change is raising the tab for natural disasters...by the billions

Total economic losses from natural catastrophes in 2007 rose to $75 billion from $50 billion the year before as extreme weather conditions driven by climate change wreaked havoc across the world

This article lends credence to my point: it doesn't fucking matter who you blame for climate change--humans or the natural process of things (although, let's get real, we need to hold ourselves accountable)--the fact remains that the global climate is changing, and that we, as inhabitants of the globe, are facing bleak consequences. And I'm referring to more than the cost in dollars.

Let's stop arguing over the "why" and figure out the "so what"--as in, "so what do we do now?"
