I was in agreement with you up until those last five words...
"Worse" than what? Or more specifically, worse by what metric and
what timescale? For example, I would consider an ice age worse than
the present (as far as the earth's current life forms are concerned),
but I don't think anyone is too concerned about it happening in the
next century. --Rob
