yea, that's in the nuclear case. in the relevant case of human CO2 emissions, nothing is likely to happen. earth is an immensely stable self-repairing system

Again, nobody's claiming that the planet is going to have trouble with global warming. We humans have invested a lot into current climate patterns though, and the transition will be unpleasant.

i'm saying there won't be any transition caused by us

i do like the benefits of seeking efficiency. the sorts of technology that will arise when efficiency is economically supported (for example, by artificial markets a la kyoto or california's propositions) ie by necessity, should be impressive. for that reason i like the global warming movement and hope it continues so long as it has as a corollary a drive for efficiency
