Irrefutable.
I am optimistic the average global temp. won't increase THAT much in the next century. We are already finding new energy sources that will not rely on fossil fuels for transportation and such. But if Earth does become a scorched, desolate wasteland, I will be dead by the time that happens anyhow.
Interestingly, I read an article a few weeks back that was talking about putting these turbines on the floor of the ocean in the middle of the Atlantic that produce electricity from the force of the tide. Anyways, I think we are headed in the right direction.
