I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth; at least, not on account of global warming.

And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation. ~Eileen Claussen
