[19] Wretchard, the difference between pondering a super volcano and global warming is simply this: Obviously, there is not much you can do about the former except (as others have pointed out here) some desperate efforts at mitigating the consequences, but global warming is touted as something that can be made right if only everyone would behave according to the dictates of those whipping up the hysteria over it. The former is sublime in prospect and truly an act of God; the latter is the product of those who would make themselves God.
