compare the rate of it now to 50 years ago (many people will be alive in 50 years). Then compund that to what it would be in 2056 (eek, I'd be 75) and tell what would be affected. Or just tell them how hot their *** are going to be when they are old and trying to stay alive.

Merry Christmas 2106!
We'd like to tell you about some changes to the old Christmas songs in light of the past 100 years of climate change:
"Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" will now be "Rudolph the Sunburned Reindeer"
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" will be sung as "It still looks a lot like August"
"Frosty the Snowman" will be sung entirely in past tense and to the rhythm of a funeral dirge.
"Silent Night" will now be titled "Balmy Night."
Some major headlines from the news:
A new U.S. Naval base is bringing a real economic boost to Little Rock, Arkansas, which is expected to be shoreline to the Mexican Ocean by 2153.
Temperatures look to be cool tonight, with a low in the 80's. We'll enter February with another record high next week.
Seaworld Florida closed this week after all the animals escaped when ocean levels rose high enough for them to swim away.
Private submarine operators are the fastest-growing source of tourism dollars in New York, Cleveland and San Francisco. For only $20 per person, you and your family can enjoy at 30-minute cruise along historic Wall Street.
Japan disappeared this week after an apparent 300-foot tsunami failed to subside.
Hope this helps.

How about this:
Global warming is not that surprising, as it is a naturally occurring event.
Global warming has been happening for 18,000 years, since the peak of the last ice age. Global warming has melted 50 million cubic kilometers of ice since peak of last ice age, leaving 30 million cubic kilometers remaining. Of the remaining 30 million cubic kilometers of ice, most of it is Antartica, where it is frigid (and the ice unlikely to melt, at least not quickly). So, it will take thousands of years (if ever) for the remaining ice to melt, so we don't have to worry about drowning. :)
