And a big FU! from North America

Here's a Google Map showing the number of votes that have come in from citizens demanding strong, binding agreements from the "leaders" currently butting heads in Copenhagen. Europe, which has experienced killer heat waves: nearly 60,000 people. Africa, in the process of being scorched to death: 125,000 people. Asia, where coastal nations are likely to become memories: over a million people. Australia, in perpetual drought and at risk of becoming a deserted continent: 25,000 people. South America, with its glaciers disappearing and many nations having no other water source: 13,000 people.

And North America, where Fox News reigns in the United States, and where Canadians still see snow out their windows, and where Mexico just wants the drug murders to stop: 7,600 people. That's roughly the population of New York City back when the United States was being founded.

And that's really all there is to say about this. The map says it all.
