"Do you really think that our great, great, great, great, great, great, great grand children will give a toss about current CO2 worries? "
The rate we are going, there will be about 100,000 great, great, great, great, great, great, great grand children as the sole descendants of the 7 billion of us now alive, living in underground communities. They will toss feces at a statue of the Koch Brothers, and will piss and moan that the denialists are all dead, so that they can't be drawn and quartered, and then eaten.
If there is anybody on this board who is more willfully ignorant about the world they live in than Tex, it is you. He has no excuses. I cut you some slack cuz I know you spend most of your time sitting on your TV and staring at your couch.
"In 200 years, things will be a lot different."
