Abstract: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has convinced many, including most governments, that the only future is global warming. IPCC's structure and directions required it only examine human causes of climate change. It also created a view that warming was only disastrous. Actually, there are more benefits to warming than cooling. Evidence indicates cooling is already occurring, because of changes in solar activity. Cooling is much more problematic. A logical strategy regardless of the trend is to prepare for cooling. Adaptation to warming is easier than to cooling.
