### I might be even more confident than you are that the average
temperatures will be higher in 30 years than they are now (the
expected minor cooling period mentioned in the article will have
played out by then).

But I still think (just as the Copenhagen consensus implies) that the
only real climate crisis is the storm of government activity whose
destructive force will greatly exceed any net damage from man-made
climate change.
