What do you think, Attalus? Do you think the continued release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere at exponentially increasing quantities can be a good thing in the long term -- or at least will produce no significant effects? Do you want to take the risk of finding out? If you've actually tried that with a few Earth-like planets already and found that the climate on those planets had continued nicely as ever before -- okay, then I'll believe we've nothing to worry about regarding what we're doing to our planet now.
