Eco Nutjobs Leave America to Escape Global Warming

I guess these people missed the point. It's GLOBAL warming. You cannot run. You cannot hide. This very strange report from the Washington Post:

Adam Fier recently sold his home, got rid of his car and pulled his twin 6-year-old girls out of elementary school in Montgomery County. He and his wife packed the family's belongings and moved to New Zealand -- a place they had never visited or seen before, and where they have no family or professional connections. Among the top reasons: global warming.

Fier, 38, a computer security professional who used to work at NASA, said he thought hard about the risks of global climate change. He knew moving to a new country would be difficult but thought that the dangers of staying in the United States were worse. Several years ago, he drew up a list of countries and studied how they might fare over the next century. He examined their environmental policies, access to natural resources and whether they would be safe from conflict. He decided that New Zealand would offer a comparable quality of life, has an excellent environmental record and is isolated from global conflicts by large tracts of the Pacific Ocean. Its tropical, subtropical, temperate and arctic zones also offer a variety of "bioenvironments" as a hedge against the vagaries of climate change.
Now, if we can only get the other 63 million people who voted for Obama to do this.

How ridiculous. Well, I'm not going quietly. As a matter fact, when I'm done eating, I plan on driving around town aimlessly. These people will feel the carbon footprint of my jackboot.
