neolib....If global warming events happened over 250 million years ago, and occurred over a period of 600,000 years.... Those numbers certainly overshadow those changes that have happened here on earth in the last 2,000 years....or even 5,000 years when man is being accused of possibly causing global warming events happening again. Let me see....could the fires in Brazil's Rain Forest have anything to do with any problems in the atmosphere? What have the peoples of Africa been doing to prevent fires and destruction of the wilderness? As a matter of fact, what have the so called Third World Countries done in the last 100 years to make living easier for any of their people?

If the future works out to favor the results of global warming, funds would flow from the beneficiaries to those who helped bring it about. This is a compensation system you describe. How does it prevent or mitigate future climate calamity if, indeed, that is where we're headed? Once Florida is under water, what is the advantage of rewarding or punishing your posterity and mine for your actions and mine?
