No one knows what the economy will be like 50 years from now or even if there will still be a global warming problem. The entire premise is also based on the notion that Western politicians will enact massive tax increases and impose severe rationing - in a word pain on their constituents to effectively curtail the warming increase. That flies in the face of political reality. Its simply not going to happen.

No one knows what the economy will be like 50 years from now...

My FRiend, no one knows what it will be like 50 months, 50 weeks, 50 days, or 50 hours from now. The folks who think they do are called speculators. Some of them win, and some lose.

But it is absolutely ludicrous to project out 180 years. Imagine someone doing that in 1836. Where would they have made their bets... horses? Canal boats? Slaves?

God only knows the conditions and technologies our great grand children will be dealing with. It could be Startreck stuff, or it could be back to rocks and furs if we don't beat back this Islamofacist threat.
