My personal take on all of this remains as follows:

Whatever the nontroversy of the day/hour/nanosecond, AGW hysteria is far more likely to ruin civilization than AGW is to destroy the world.

The planet will self-regulate, and inasmuch as it doesn’t, we will adapt.

I’m far more frightened of people making five-, ten-, or twenty-year plans for all of us to live by.

And when it comes to people telling me everything I’m going to have to do, stop doing, and sacrifice for the sake of a very probably futile attempt to appease the climate gods, two words: you first.

And by “you” I mean Al Gore.
