Very nice article in the Sunday "Parade" insert. It maps changes from thousands of years ago and their effects on the societies of their times. Not as much about what people are doing (although it is said that various organizations say there is an effect), but what changes in weather, crop viability, pest infestation, etc. The most telling is the financial effects, seen most plainly in home insurance providers such as State Farm which is increasing rates in Florida 70% for houses and 95% for mobile homes. Heck, even here in AZ we are taking a hit on home insurance to help cover for other stricken areas!! When it hits the pocketbook, folks will start to pay more attention.
