This video put out by WIRED just this past month

If you stick with this video above, it is pretty funny actually on this topic big time. Honestly though, people who are so stuck in the sand, won't be reading this blog post, won't watch this video, a lot of people just fear things they don't fully understand, don't seem to care about information that is factual. It seems more or less just information that makes them feel certain ways I think works better, unfortunately it takes a lot of direct interaction with people for them to feel any way (ie some people won't be a believer until they go through some crazy weather situation on a regular basis, and even then, humans adapt, and they will just get used to whatever crazy weather pattern rather than think they can change it, ugh).
