On the "Climate Change Debate"

I’m sure 99% of readers here know this, but the “climate change debate” that exists in the United States is an almost entirely local phenomenon.  Put another way, there is no controversy whatsoever associated with the subject among educated people in any other part of the world.

Of course, the level of a certain nation‘s concern about  the ultimate outcome may be tied to that country’s unique geography vis-à-vis the prospect of desertification, droughts, and food shortages, or any of the other most likely outcomes tied to its specific location on the globe, e.g., the likelihood of finding its main population centers underwater a few decades hence due to the rises in seawater levels that scientists tell us are coming our way. This latter fear, of course, is most closely associated with island nations  — but what’s the altitude above sea level of Miami?  New York?  Boston?
