He/She also uses earthquakes, hurricanes, a whole range of natural disaster punishments.

It will also harden the positions of those who do not. <br /><br />It is similar to those who think our debt problem will trigger hyperinflation but do not buy hard assets. Does this negate their conviction?<br /><br />But it is not just my decision, as my time horizon is curtailed. And I think the the reward goes to those who act just slightly before the majority. <br /><br />Besides, there are huge costs in such a move, and we feel beginning a mitigation strategy to be able to capture much of the benefits without the considerable pain at this point.John Phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245790061133614986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951078.post-28003061398736505192011-08-28T16:58:14.486-06:002011-08-28T16:58:14.486-06:00If one truly believed in climate change, wouldn...If one truly believed in climate change, wouldn't it be a better bet to sell the high-priced Illinois farmland and move north to Dakotas, MN, or Canada?Dereknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951078.post-40790841022266036052011-08-28T12:58:55.450-06:002011-08-28T12:58:55.450-06:002 SUGGESTIONS.
