Isn't there supposed to be a new ice-age coming? Why don't we just go
somewhere cold? Maybe colonise mars?
Actually, is that the way to colonise mars? Fill our bodies with lots of
excellent nano-stuff, which improves us immensely & keeps us warm.
Now if they'd only give off oxygen as a by-product...
