My response to most of these post is a sad face because it seems like there's just so little concern for this among average citizens. In there defense, its difficult to care when our political leadership is all bought and paid for by the people who facilitate and profit most from the collective actions that cause such extensive environmental damage. 
No, you should say Republicans don’t think shit is going on with the weather. I know I am beating dead horse, but Al Gore and weather scientist said this shit was going to happen 30 or 40 years ago.
