Let’s assume for a moment that humans really are powerful enough to influence the world’s climate and that efforts to stem the natural warming cycle are going to work (by this, I mean reducing the peak point in the climate sine curve, not just delaying the inevitable by a few days or weeks, which Bjorn Lomberg suggests is all that the Kyoto efforts would achieve at a cost of trillions of dollars); does this mean that when the cooling phase of the cycle comes around, the lowest point would actually be colder than it would otherwise be without the efforts of the climate meddlers? Of course, by the time that point comes around, several centuries will have passed and the present generation of would-be climate controllers will be long dead; and a few million extra deaths from the cold would be of no consequence to them by then…
