Two wrongs...

Here's an interesting article - some scientists speculate that, because of Peak Oil (i.e. the fact that there are limited carbon-based burnable things buried in the ground), global warming might not be a complete disaster. It'll still be one big whopping major problem, but oil and coal will simply run out before the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere get to runaway levels.

So, in a way, one disaster might save us from another. That's comedy.

One has to acknowledge that all those buried gems (coal, oil, carbonates (limestone),etc) were all once a part of the this planet's atmosphere. So earthlings, do not despair. Global warming might actually be a complete benefit.
