But my suggestion that the experiment needs a control isn't satisfied just by the historical record of the Earth. That tells us what Earth was like in the past without humans - not what would be happening now without humans. But I take your point that maybe we can learn a little from the past and recognize that the Earth has gone through many warming and cooling periods none of which had a disastrous effect on the planet. I also agree with Swen on the point that we perceive any change as necessarily bad. Do you suppose people who live in Iceland will mind having a warmer climate? Or those Newfoundlanders who will once again be able to grow grapes? Okay, maybe some. Certainly as someone who lives in THE hottest place in Europe, even a change in 1 degree Centigrade would make a huge difference to me. But I'll just move to Reykjavik. Also, humanity has a tendency to be incredibly anthropocentric in this area. "Any changes that occur on the planet MUST be the result of us!" When oil reserves run out or become scarce, the world will finally grow up about nuclear power. Swen, I completely agree with you.

Let Oil go to $200, because it just make innovation in solar, wine and water power more economically viable. But in the short-term, it is going to lead to more wars and stress as nations fight for scarce resources. The Chinese are already seriously militarizing. Everyone talks about China's need for huge amounts of raw materials as if this is a great Demand equation that will fuel exports. And it is, but at some point it will be necessary for China to ensure that it can import what it needs, and relying on global trade isn't likely to satisfy them. All the bad news makes me happy.
