And just what exactly do you base that conclusion on, I'm curious? There is all sorts of evidence of problems and potential problems, from beetle killed trees in British Columbia, to reduced ocean fisheries, to who knows what else.
I'm real glad you feel confident in betting my children's future on your hope.
I have no idea what the total potential risks are with global warming, but the very fact we can do something about it is reason enough to do something about it.
