Is Mark Steyn right or is he wrong?

Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds doesn't agree with Steyn.

Steyn says:

Look around you. The late-20th-century Western lifestyle isn’t going to be around much longer. In a few years’ time, our children will look at old TV commercials showing retirees dancing, golfing, cruising away their sixties and seventies, and wonder what alternative universe that came from. In turn, their children will be amazed to discover that in the early 21st century the Western world thought it entirely normal that vast swathes of the citizenry should while away their youth enjoying what, a mere hundred years earlier, would have been the leisurely varsity of the younger son of a Mitteleuropean Grand Duke.

I think Steyn is recognizing the problems and has come up with the conclusion that they are not solvable.  Reynolds must think the problems are solvable.

The problems can't be solved if their existence is denied.  The people who tell us global warming is caused by man are the same ones who are saddling us with an impossible debt.

So who's doing the bad thinking, the so called right, or the left?
