Oh, maybe we should listen to Scientists Now

After this terrible disaster (the Tsunami) people start asking scientists questions and for answers. Oddly enough scientists warn about these types of things and almost no one listens until it's after the fact. People first turn to religion, get lied to, and then ask scientists for the truth. I guess it's better later than never. But I wonder if this will mean people will start to have a more active ear to the warnings of global warming and pollution before something like this happens again due to our actions (or inaction).
