Not panicked at the prospect of an extra fraction of a degree this century

From this page:
I have been reminded of two things as this winter drags on, especially after trips to Florida and California. The first is that, Mr. Gore to the contrary, people actually like warmth and sunshine. That's why those two states are rich and populous and politically powerful. The cute young clerk in the San Francisco hotel where I now sit wrinkled her nose at our winter coats and our brief account of winter travails and fetchingly declared, "I totally can't like imagine such a place." Take away our warming blanket of carbon dioxide and Indiana will be uninhabitable.
