Quote of the Day

On global warming:

"We certainly adapted to the 0.8 C temperature change quite well in the 20th century, as life expectancies doubled and some crop yields quintupled. ... Global warming is real, but it does not portend immediate disaster, and there's currently no suite of technologies that can do much about it. The obvious solution is to forgo costs today on ineffective attempts to stop it, and to save our money for investment in future technologies and inevitable adaptation."
