Lawrence, you are absolutely correct, we have thrived by releasing carbon,
it is a success story.

You are also correct that there are far more important things for
individuals to worry about than forecasts of the future climate. Many people
on this planet wonder where their next glass of clean water is to come from
:-(

The real problem is that there are now a lot of humans vying for vital
resources, it makes perfect sense to invest in new technology despite
whether you believe in global warming or not.
