Thanks for the context. As far as I'm concerned, all bets are off. Predicting
global climate change has no record of being accurate. Seems to me the chances
of being wiped out by a meteor are greater than global warming. At least there
is some evidence of that causing a big extinction in the past. But, I could be
wrong.
