Excuse me, but that was dumb.  Was I supposed to
recognize the picture?

 My worry has always been not that the experts on warming are 
 alarmist, but that they are too conservative in their estimates.  If 
 we acted quickly and an economic disaster followed, the world would 
 be impacted for a generation or less.  If, however, we triggered an 
 ecological disaster, the repercussions could potentially be far worse.
 
You fail to mention something in this dichotomy: an economical
disaster will trigger an ecological disaster, much worse than
the ecological disaster that may come if we do nothing;
People who lose their jobs don't give a f--- about 
the environment. Ecology is for rich people, poor people 
want to get fed, and if they must kill the last whale or 
the last cockroach to get food, the Hell with Ecological Balance.

Only a pure World Soclalist Government, in the line of Visionary
Prophet Pol Pot, can save the World, by killing 98% of its population 
in a systemtic way. Go Commies!

Quick note:

I'm off for vacation shortly, so I'll be AFK for the next chapter or 
two.  Just wanted to make sure you take my silence for the absence 
that it will be, not apathy.  :-)

You were probably put off by the misspelling in the subject:

It's Gramma Rae.
 ^^^
But yeah, it was dumb. Considering the critical tone of the
caption, I think she should not be smiling.
