If the earth keeps warming, it will become a problem.

As generations before mine have felt: "let the next generation deal with it."

Not at all. The earth has been warmer than it is today, even in human history and we didn't become extinct then

I'm certainly concerned about it. If there is a significant man-made driver to this, we won't really know until we're looking at this in the rear view mirror...and by then, we will be suffering the full effects and it will be long ago too late to do anything about it. The skeptics will not be very helpful then.

Global Warming can only thrive in a strong economy.

You think the weather system is becoming more benign?... I'm not so sure about that one.
