If the science of global warming is correct, and the predicted catastrophe happens (sea levels rise, ice age, famine, massive migration, etc, etc), then population control will take care of itself. And most likely, those with more resources are more likely to survive, an anti-Idiocracy.

There's no need for ill-informed policies with their unintended consequences (some which were mentioned in the article).

It's time to face the facts that global warming is going to happen, and there's nothing we can do about it. Inconsequential changes in energy efficiency aside, it would take massive reductions in the global economy to significantly decrease the rate of carbon emissions, not even reducing it. This economic destruction would leave billions more in poverty and facing starvation.

Our only hope is technology.

Global warming won't kill us fast enough. Take hurricane katrina for instance. 1800 people died. Nearly 300k moved inland, and are now presumably out of danger. And the US population kept rising.

Madai, you make the point...consider Bangladesh - the cyclone in 1970, and subsequent famine in 1974.

Technology is the only possible answer. It is a necessary corallary that technology is used with with prudent humanitarian intelligence.

Big 'if' there, though.
