Your whole argument seems to rest on a bit of wibble on Grist, which
claims (wholly implausibly, IMO) that we are" "optimally adapted" to our
current climate. Try telling that to the (ex-)citizens of New Orleans,
or Haiti for that matter...
By the same argument (ie proof by wild assertion), one could claim that
we are "optimally adapted" to the current Ipod Nano or President of the
USA :-)
You'll have to do much better than that to convince me on any of the
above points!
