Stephan:   Readers may remember my essay last September, Climate Change and Willful Ignorance (see SR archives), in which I described the beginnings of the idiocy reported here, the attempt in the Virginia Legislature to censor how climate change could be described. Here is the follow up on that story. It is really quite amazing, given Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and the entire Eastern Shore of Virginia are already experiencing the effects of sea rise. Having studied the climate change trend for almost two decades, and the power and commitment of the Right to delude itself on this issue, I now see it as becoming a part of the Great Schism trend. Blue value states are beginning to address what is coming -- Monday, the City of Seattle issued a detailed and fact-based assessment of sea rise from now to 2050, so all stakeholders in the city can begin planning. Red value states are not. North Carolina doesn't want scientists to use facts when planning for sea rise.
