i don't plan on having kids, but i'd think it'd be swell if your grandkids and their grandkids had a habitable planet to live on.

Thanks for thinking about my kids man, I'm glad someone is thinking of the children here.
I'm sure the symbolic and totally useless gesture of lowering some human created CO2 emmisions and wrecking the global economy to do so will help them greatly.
I suppose this is what frusterates me so much about the alarmest mindset on this. Results don't matter but motives are what is important. Doing SOMETHING, even if it makes a problem worse, is ok as long as you do it for the right reasons. Education, welfare, the enviroment, its all about feeling good, not good results.
