Feeling a bit cold, do you?

Thermodynamics at play. If you increase energy in a relatively stable system, it destabilizes, at least until another equilibrium state is reached. And the Earth climate system has been shown to be very sensitive to changes, so we are likely in for a wild ride:

Obviously the Republican anthropomorphic climate change deniers are Darwinist enough not to worry about their grandchildren. If the grandchildren aren't strong enough to survive and prosper in the new environment, then they deserve to die. Or something

Climate change is too slow of a process - it's unlikely a politician will ever be around long enough to benefit or suffer from their views and voting record on it. An eighty-something year old, nine-or-so term Senator from a state with a coastline might eventually lose some beachfront votes - but aside from that - there just aren't any consequences.

Same goes for entire political parties - they change just enough over time that they'll always be in the clear.

Blaming a Republican in the year 2150 for the negative effects of climate change would be like blaming a Democrat today for starting the Klan.

If there are people around by 2150.

Good point, we're likely to build the robots that will build the robots that will wipe us out long before global warming ever becomes a major threat to humans.

I like this reply.

History means no generation ever has to say sorry, as they can't when they're dead.
