   I suppose I am a wet blanket in pointing out two logical fallacies with Rat’s theorem, first it is not one worry cancelling out the other worry – for his statement to be true the actuality of global warming would have to be true, in order for it to end life and therefore financial worry, not the fear of it (you could be unperturbed about global climate change and still have your financial worry interrupted by an untimely climate induced death). Also two unrelated worries would not effect one another, if, say I worry that peanut butter is making me fat, and that rattlesnakes were plotting to usurp Ecuador. Sorry Rat, your logic is not syllogistic.
