Its funny that based on everything I have seen the only bad results seem to come from global cooling. Whenever in history the temperatures have risen, the world seems to thrive!
Whether or not the climate is changing is one thing, proving that warmer temperatures are bad is another. The only 'bad' I have seen come from stories that an 'estimated x # of people' will die due to the effects of warming but these are generally poor people and sticking them on a life of public welfare from the rich nations to the poor nations would probably be cheaper than a massive switch away from carbon emissions.
So I guess whether its welfare from emissions trading or welfare from warming alleviation, its probably a better solution to just call it welfare and get over it.
Tease.
