I Promise to Shut Up Soon About Climate Change

I keep coming back to this topic, but one of the reasons I tend to delve deeper into the subject is because my wife, I'm pretty sure, is literally scared to death of the consequences of climate change in our lifetime. Meaning, hey, our house will be flooded due to the rise of ocean levels, and if we had any sense, we'd move inland. Her fears are well founded, judging by the MSM coverage of so called global warming. I remain skeptical of how things will play out.

I refer you to a thoughtful essay by Freeman Dyson, which tends to mirror my feelings on the subject, i.e. there are so many gaps in our knowledge it doesn't make sense to act without gathering more data. I really like his take on the role of heretics, humanists, and naturalists. Check it out HERE.
