Oh, the poor poor buggy whip makers.

Always with the buggy whip makers.  The real losers were horse trainers and those that trained horses.  Their screams were not heard.  Never again, never again.

While I do not accept the premise of man-made global warming, ...  I guess the poorer folks could move into caves on a short term basis, then after the carbon emissions are reduced, the folks working in the fossil fuel business can replace them.

We are about to embark on an expensive program to find out if global warming/climate change is or is not man-made.  I don't think any scientific evidence that gw/cc is not man-made will change that now.  Economic and standard of living changes to the masses may have some effect. 

The fossil fuel business will morph into something else.  Blacksmith shops were replaced with gas/service stations etc.  Don't know about the buggy whip trade in particular.
