Global warming isn't worth destroying our economy over in my opinion. This catastrophic global warming hysteria needs a huge dose of reality. Trying to protray green house gases like CO2 as dirty pollutants that threaten to blacken the world is ridiculous. We should be focusing our attention on much more important issues.

"Why are people starving? Because the rulers eat up the money in taxes. Therefore the people are starving. Why are the people rebellious? Because the rulers interfere too much. Therefore they are rebellious. Why do people think so little of death? Because the rulers demand too much of life. Therefore the people take life lightly. Having to live on, one knows better than to value life too much." —Lao Zi

Having had a look at some of his thesis (regarding the inevitable Fall of the West), I am not particularly wowed by Ferguson's logic or for that matter, his pessimism. Here however, he offers points that should give us pause when we're told that technology will magically negate pure human self-interest in natural resources, some of which are scarce.
