Global Warming? Climate Change?

There's no upside or downside. I think the planet will still be spinning around in space long after we're gone.

We're talking about a rock floating in space for billions of years which we are still very ignorant about.

To think we'd have the ability to destroy it is really laughable.
We're not really destroying the planet, nature is destroying us.

Some people will be able to rapidly evolve gills and we'll all get to drink our own wee without any of the off-putting social stigma

So what? Who gives a **** about the earth once it's no longer habitable?

We should be concerned about saving our asses and having somewhere nice to live.

If you can track it down, watch a film called Darwin's Nightmare and tell me people aren't already living in hellish conditions as a result of human stupidity.

They were talking about saving planet 20 years ago, I remember the cartoon 'Captain Planet' and felt enthusiastic about saving the earth but the reality is nothing has changed and nothing ever will.

Ireland will be in a great position to take full advantage in a rise in global temperature

Correct. In 100 years (max) we'll be like Arab Sheikhs except we'll be water rather than oil barons! Our cool wet winters will fill our coffers with sweet, sweet H2O and our warm summers (35 degrees) will draw tourists from all over the globe, escaping the unbearable heat (50 degrees +) of their homelands.

I reckon Iceland would have is beat for this scenario.

warmer weather over the Atlantic means we will get even more rain and clouds. So it may get a bit cooler here.

It'll be warmer, and the beaches will be closer - what's not to like?

People will finally have an excuse for all those expensive BBQ grills that sit on their patios just rusting away.
