I have a more positive scenario. I have a budding theory that periods of global warming equate to periods of rapidly increasing economic prosperity; while global cooling leads to periods of impoverishment. Think about: the end of the last Ice Age (warming), the early dark ages (cooling); the roaring pre-teens of 1000 - 1300 (warming); the Little Ice Age of 1300 - 1800's (plagues and famine and revolution); the latter half of the 20th century (warming & booming). Some economist ought to get on this. Thanks Captain Bringdown.
