Global cooling is a lot more likely to do damage to human civilization than warming ... just based on the history of earth's climate over the last couple million years. One long 100,000+ year ice after another with relatively short warm periods in between .... one of which we're living in now. A mile of ice on top of Chicago, London, Moscow wouldn't be good. And during those ice ages, so much water is tied up in ice, the rest of the planet is much more arid than now.

I don't think we can take the risk .... we should burn more greenhouse gases now.

<<If there is a finite chance global warming can destroy human life (infinity) on earth, one should do everything to avoid it.

Not if there is a finite chance global cooling can destroy human life.>>

Not what the scientists are worried about.
