How many times we have heard the political pundits repeat the statement that "all politics is local"?A well known saying that has been attributed to Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill.
Some have likewise observed that "all weather is local" in the same sense it was intended by Tip.
The posts "Parochial Climate & Parochial Mentality" and "Coldest July or Warmest July?" point out the fact that people tend to base global climate concepts on the phenomenon of their local weather, the same way they fashion their political views.
Something close to home strikes them as being the way things are everywhere, which gets them in deep trouble on the world scene.
The parochial global climate view of things makes it difficult for governments to fashion a global policy because of a million beliefs that "all weather is local".
For that reason theory is emerging which states that governments will be forced to deal with the climate induced environmental catastrophes headed our way with a policy of triage.
