OS: I was right. He did.
|
  |
ME: Then we are all doomed to however the Earth's climate naturally changes?
|
  |
OS: I don't know about that. After all, mankind survived the Ice Age.
|
  |
ME: Really?
|
  |
OS: Recent evidence from old bones - because studying new bones would be of no use - prove that
there were human generations through the tens of thousands of years of the Ice Age.
|
  |
ME: Do you think Earth is headed for another Ice Age?
|
  |
OS: If it is, things will be easier for humans, because, for one, we have houses, which are way
better than living in caves.
|
  |
ME: But will a new Ice Age end?
|
  |
OS: That depends.
|
  |
ME: Depends on what?
|
  |
OS: The weather. Are you listening to anything I say?
|
  |
ME: This is all very depressing. I feel hopeless.
|
  |
OS: As we all should. Or you all should. I'm ninety-something and I doubt if I will be around to
see next winter no less the next Ice Age.
|
  |
ME: Any suggestions?
|
  |
OS: Just one.
|
  |
ME: What is it?
|
  |
OS: I was lying. I have no suggestions.
