How have we adapted to the energy need?

We haven't, we've done zero. And now we're in perpetual hock to Muslim dictators. The biggest failure of political will in this generation.

35 years ago ..global cooling ...

KLP, those were sensationalist articles backed by no science - very unlike the situation now. Back then, NASA, USGS, IPCC, National Academy of Sciences did not publish studies backing up global cooling. No - global cooling was the claims of a few extremists, with no major studies behind them, and pushed by a few magazine covers.

Global warming, in contrast, is a scientific consensus backed by thousands of studies. Thus, the two are not commensurate.

And, whether you believe this or not, the fact is, people are being *already* being forced to adapt. I've seen this myself in China.
