Charleston??
Tulsa, the Antonov periodically flies over the pole from mother Russia to pick up oilfield drilling equipment and the OK air guard has an F-16 wing based there (useless trivia alert, during the Iraq war the OKANG had the highest hit ratio of any AF unit). A friend of mine works at the American Airlines maintenance base and is a full on plane nerd and posts these pics daily.
 
A copperhead slithered in front of me while hunting groundhogs several years ago. It was only a few feet away as I was walking to a new location.

Both of my daughters were with me; with one on either side of me. When I saw the snake slither quickly by and into the grass, I blocked my oldest daughter to my right with the rifle in hand. Don't worry, the muzzle was not on her. I was holding the rifle by the receiver and that's what was up against her chest as I pushed her back.

While pushing my eldest back I grabbed the youngest one by the wrist and lifted her up and out of the way to keep her away from the copperhead.

Normally, the snake would not have bothered me but I had two little pre-teen girls to worry about.

They had no idea what I was doing and the youngest calmly asked, "Daddy, why are you holding me up?"

I had to tell them that there was a snake in the grass but they weren't frightened.

EDIT: Video added...

theyre all just so fucking stupid and only think 20 minutes ahead.

there we no polar ice caps when the dinosaurs were around..
then the polar ice caps showed up and came down halfway through north america...
then they started receding again...
its a cycle on a incredible long time scale and within that time scale there are fluctuations..

how about what they call the "mini-ice" age that george washington talks about with snow in june...

YES:
they are melting
they are melting faster because we are screwing with the planet a little too much since the industrial revolution
they will melt and flood the lowlands
they would melt anyway
no matter how many miiles per gallon you car gets the world has 1500 coal fired power plants under construction in 60+ countries. thats adding 40% more coal pollution into the atmosphere.
china put a stop to approx 150 new ones
the paris accord (which was worthless because there were no consequences for going over, you only paid if you wanted to) wanted to limit the temp increase to 1.7C.
right there they are telling you its going to get warmer no matter what.
stop discussing it and and plan for the increase

its not that hard to comprehend.
You are 100% right. Climate is always changing. Look up Solar Minimum.

I saw a lot of them in Charleston as well. Seems BMW used them to ferry car bodies and part over from the motherland.
