My kind of Just-in-case!
Whether global warming comes or not, it is certain that nature itself will sooner or later produce major changes in the climate. To deal with those changes and virtually all other changes arising from whatever cause, man absolutely requires individual freedom, science, and technology. In a word, he requires the industrial civilization constituted by capitalism.The Toxicity of Environmentalism is truly an inspiring piece of writing. The above statement says it all, and serves as a useful reply to the Leftist-greenie "we should abandon the modern society for the sake of possible human-induced global warming" with a more appealing way of thinking, namely:
Just in case global warming (or cooling, or whatever) is on the way, we should endorse free markets, liberty and economic growth, because rich people can better adjust to changes in the state of nature.So, for the case of argument, we assume that drastic changes in the climate are around the corner (be it natural or not), and realize that the best way to tackle those changes is to become wealthier and healthier and better prepared for whatever is at hand!
