Actually, if you want to know the truth, I actually found the older deep ocean current theory of climate change more plausible than this most recent idea. In particular, the explanation of a cold snap generated by a flood of glacial melt fresh water into the Atlantic thousands of years ago, screwing up the current patterns, was interesting.

The important thing is that we don't have enough answers to risk wrecking our society over something that "might" happen. It goes without saying that working towards technology that generates as little waste as possible is a good idea for any number of reasons, and we are already heading in that direction, but letting the radical environmentalists call the shots and set the pace is not a good idea.
