My response was not a plea to maintain the status quo. It was only stating the obvious, that unless we are given a reason to think otherwise, the best guess at the ideal temperature would be the current temperature. It would be easy to complicate the response and perhaps I will do that tomorrow.

Also a word of advice; by the worlds I used you should have realized that I have a sufficient background in the economics of the environment to know what I am talking about. Normal people typically don't use worlds like institutions and adjustment costs. I'm sure you also realize that your education in the relevant subject areas limits your ability to understand the issue. While this is fine, you should probably wait to imply insults. Better yet you should probably forgo implying insults altogether, though in this regard I know I am not one to talk.
