Well, yeah, the future is uncertain. That's not going to change. You can
base your life around fear and live in a hole in the ground or you can
plan
for the worst and expect better.


I am certainly a lot more concerned about the economy than I am about
global warming.

Unfortunately, they are tightly related and will be even more so in the
future.
