I sure hope we don't bet wrong.
Don't worry you won't live long enough to suffer the consequences and should they be dire, I'm sure humanity will be able to adapt. We are pesky survivors.

Maybe I am not as altruistic or concerned about my progeny as you are but I honestly think we will all be fine and I simply have higher priorities for things that need to change in this world right now than reducing AGW such as the economic growth and liberalisation and democratization of 2nd and 3rd world countries that currently are one of the biggest sources of emissions and pollution and other environmental damage.
