> We just will have to learn to live without all the cool stuff we like Like arable land.

  You lose arable land at the equator and gain it closer to the poles. Studies don’t generally see a large net decrease in arable land due to climate change. Erosion is the bigger problem, 1/3rd of all arable land lost over the last 40 years.

    In the next 40 we will lose the rest of it. It's going to make a lot of folks very hungry, have you read "the road"? I would rather not live there, thank you very much.

      In idle moments, I daydream of a wager where people who are concerned about climate change bet with those who are unconcerned. If climate change turns out to be mild, the unconcerned get the money. If it's severe, they die.

        Why would such a bet be useful then?
