Kinda bummed that you weren't joking. The tone of these threads is pretty depressing and I could have used a little pick-me-up.
Anyway, I'm not a climatologist, but from what I understand we will be seeing significant global ramifications in the next 2-3 decades. In other words, it's not just the next generation that's going to suffer, it's going to be a great deal many of us who are alive today.
