>>Depends on which side is wrong. If I'm wrong (and alive) in 2100, I could look your grandkid in the eye and tell her, "I was wrong about warming, but there is no pollution with your green electricity economy". Could you look my granddaughters in their eyes, and say , "I was wrong about warming, and that's why all the roads near the ocean are covered by 6 feet of sea water"?

Probably not but I could honestly say we can’t control weather. And the green electricity economy was always going to happen. At this point we have far greater concerns, to be truthful.

How are we going to rearrange our economy so that there is still sufficient growth to allow good lifestyles while a much smaller proportion on the population works and the rest, just sort of observe, I guess? That’s the greatest problem one can reasonably anticipate as of now, for the next 100 years. It is a biggie.

Other than the potential for nuclear self destruction, of course. Which will always be there.
