We must come clean and ask ourselves if we are ready to pay the huge prescribed cost of fighting global warming without being sure that human steps can defer the climate catastrophe. Before that we must be sure we are at all facing a catastrophe. If we admit that we cannot reach climate equilibrium, we better learn to adapt. After all, adaptation, not manipulation, has been the key to human survival. And to adapt well we must take the issue of global warning seriously. We must concentrate on a globally shared mission to find better technology. And with it must come global responsibility. The rich must pay to cover their giant ecological footprints.

When the climate changes, the poor always suffer the most. In the present panic scenario they may be fooled into building a Noah’s ark only to find no space in it.
