Alex, if it turns out like that, thank God we built our house when we did. Living in a plastic bag with styrofoam insulation—terrible. The windows are probably screwed shut, and if the mechanical ventilation system fails, you suffocate. Your eyes constantly itch and everyone gets asthma because of the dry air.
No way. The EU? Seriously? Poland, Greece, and Slovakia are going along with this nonsense? I just can’t believe it. Karsten

Of course, there are always winners and losers with climate changes. The question is: Where are there more winners or losers – during warming or cooling?
My guess: Everyone loses during cooling.As you said, the temperature rises even without humans, just more slowly. So, for now, no danger...

First of all, warming is certain. What to do about it and to what extent one feels obliged to take part is the question.
One problem with warming is, among other things, that it doesn’t just make things warmer but can paradoxically trigger the next ice age by disrupting major ocean currents. So the equation warming = good does not generally hold true.
Why it shouldn’t matter how much certain gas emissions are reduced still awaits a convincing argument. Is it only acceptable once the market, rather than the government, regulates it? Or how does the story go?
Or is the point that none of this really matters?
