Good luck with that. I'll probably have a hell of a party. Actually, maybe not. I'll have been dead for years, anyway.
I understand the theories put forth about "climate change". It also seems to me that most of what we understand about the planet's climate is still in the theory stage and that there are a bunch of competing theories that attempt to explain various components of the overall explanation of what our climate has done in the past. Last I heard, there was no concensus yet.
The planet has at times been a giant snowball and at other times been completely ice-free. We haven't been around for any of those events, so I question how much of the current debate is really useful to us, or just bull**** from one group attempting to control the behavior of the rest of us.
Whether it's climate change, the nuclear energy question, whether or not we should eat tasty animals, or kill people that don't agree with our individual religion/vodoo beliefs or whatever, or let women drive cars, rest assured there will always be somebody that just can't get along with the program.
