You raise some good and valid points. Still, we are embroiled in major hostilities and tension, largely centered around the desire for oil at the lowest price, from where-ever. Further, Peragro can have his blithe assurance that atmospheric carbon is a non-issue. Myself, I'm not interested in summers like Iraq now has becoming the norm in my country, not to mention the other far more serious consequences.

If temps were to go up just a bit, the snowpack in the Sierras that serves as a virtually irreplaceable resorvoir will just about vanish. Oh boy, we'll be able to use the Arctic ocean for shipping 2 or 3 months out of the year, if they don't get sunk by icebergs, and lemme see, there must be some other upsides but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Meanwhile, we got Nascar yay-hoos and donut spinning sideshows, sanctioned and illegal, and people driving monster RVs around that are bigger than the homes of many people on this planet.

We have gone gadget, gizmo, and big rig happy like they ain't no tomorrow.
