Future prediction is the current holy grail of atmospheric scientists  
and others involved in global warming studies. They currently use  
computer modeling to predict what will happen, where it will happen,  
and on what timetable. They rely on historic data to make their  
predictions. Human activities are escalating at exponential rates.  
Seems to me change is inevitable. Seems to me we and climate are  
largely beyond control. I intend to enjoy the ride. The grandchildren  
may well enjoy it less. Those who are most adaptable are most likely  
to continue.
