I think there are a lot of things at play here.
The weather is changing all of the time no matter what. Even if we didn't exist and didn't cause pollution or make any changes, the weather would still change. On top of this, we are much better able to see what's going on.
Don't get me wrong, we should do everything we can to prevent global warming, but at the end of the day our weather is still going to change. We need to change our habits to deal with it.
One of the things that kills me is people who live in hurricane areas - their houses aren't able to handle this. I remember going to my Aunt's house in Belgium and she showed us how her condo was build - it was old, from the 1950s - but it had metal screens on her windows and doors in the event of a tornado or what not. Calling them "metal screens" doesn't properly describe them; They were more like metal walls. Then we have my cousin in Florida who lives in a double wide and looses everything she owns every four years.
