I think it was Christiansen who once said, and I quote, "I don't get out of bed for less than ten thousand a day",
She said afterward's that the words had been taken out of context...
Charitable bitch, isn't she.

Agreed. Pointless, given our lamentable record of even minimal global
cooperation. Perhaps Fusion will come to our belated rescue, but I doubt it.

Even the most conservative scenario makes me glad I won't see 2050.

I'd hope you are right but my cynicism tells me otherwise.

Perhaps a sufficiently large but non-catastrophic 'incident' [say, on the
scale of the complete submersion of Bangladesh] might be enough to
concentrate attention...

I thought that immediately after posting the above: my cynicism-gland
was taking breather just then.
Venice is a good candidate too; London or the eastern US seaboard
wouldn't take too much of a climatic shift either.
