excerpt - "...Flood memory half-life. Perception of risk directly changes
pressure for improving flood management. Longer periods of
time since a natural disaster reduce the perception of risk—a
phenomenon referred to as the “flood memory half-life.” The
problem is well in evidence in Californian’s flood insurance
coverage behavior, which peaked soon after the 1997 floods—
the last large floods within the state—and has declined ever
since..."
Abstract -
Most people think climate change and sustainability are important problems, but too few global citizens engaged in high-greenhouse-gas-emitting behavior are engaged in enough mitigating behavior to stem the increasing flow of greenhouse gases and other environmental problems. Why is that? Structural barriers such as a climate-averse infrastructure are part of the answer, but psychological barriers also impede behavioral choices that would facilitate mitigation, adaptation, and environmental sustainability. Although many individuals are engaged in some ameliorative action, most could do more, but they are hindered by seven categories of psychological barriers, or “dragons of inaction”: limited cognition about the problem, ideological worldviews that tend to preclude pro-environmental attitudes and behavior, comparisons with key other people, sunk costs and behavioral momentum, discredence toward experts and authorities, perceived risks of change, and positive but inadequate behavior change. Structural barriers must be removed wherever possible, but this is unlikely to be sufficient. Psychologists must work with other scientists, technical experts, and policymakers to help citizens overcome these psychological barriers.

Globull Warmists need to sell their cars, recycle their HVAC units, give up their cell phones, stop using electricity, and move into caves. Walk the walk motherfuckers!
Even on a worldwide scale, the climatic events of the last twelve months are within scope of a cluster of stronger than normal events caused by the strong La Nina. Barely.
By 2025, if we continue to see more of these types of events, we may be able to look back and say this was the beginning of the change. For sure, we know that the Arctic is already undergoing major changes. As are the alpine areas of the world. We are creating a very interesting future for our descendents. I doubt they will appreciate it.

I generate more energy than I consume and do so through renewable and sustainable (non-CO2 emitting) sources, I would prefer to simply have more people follow a similar path. But I agree with you that life would be much more simple if people that seem to hate technology and the advancements and economic benefits of modern scientific understanding would simply "walk the walk" of their rejectionist luddite talk, the rest of us could go about building the future. As Frank Rowland (president of the AAAS back in the early 90s and a Nobel laureate atmospheric chemist honored for his work on the discovery of stratospheric chlorofluorocarbons' role in ozone depletion), is quoted as saying; "...Whats the use of having developed a science well enough to make predictions, if in the end, all were willing to do is stand around and wait for them to come true?..."

Notice several members of the echo chamber all chime in with their usual cocksure opinions, one even called those who listen to professional scientists "motherfuckers" and another that the debate on climate change is a vast left wing conspiracy.
I'll bet my chips on that the vast number of scientists around the world who suggest human behavior has been a contributor to the change in sea temperature, which impacts global weather.

The problem with your post is that you've created a Straw Man. Who are these "rejectionist luddites" you're talking about? No one on this board that I know of!!!
I expect the residents of Joplin, MO; Tuscaloosa, AL and the states which border the Mississippi River and its tributaries might be trying to put their lives back together and don't give a shit about your pathetic spin on the disasters which affected them.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joplin hasn't even buried their dead yet and you're holding up the bodies to push your AGW cult.
Disgusting. Just fucking disgusting.
Yeah. You dance on graves, and it's MY fault.I expect the residents of Joplin, MO; Tuscaloosa, AL and the states which border the Mississippi River and its tributaries might be trying to put their lives back together and don't give a shit about your pathetic spin on the disasters which affected them.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An ad hominem spun into self righteous indignation. Nice job Dave. You actually might be smarter than a 3rd grader.

Y'know, I've stopped questioning leftists' patriotism.
Now I question their humanity.
