      I refuse to believe, even at this late date, that anyone is that stupid. This is an elaborate and beautiful joke.

        Another article to peruse on topic.



        We'll kill ourselves off (unless the Sun or the planet beat us to it), but the planet will still have life. Call it a reboot. Nature wins.
        Earth has experienced 5 mass extinctions before the one we are currently living through: 450 million years ago, 86% of all species dead; 380 million years ago, 75% dead; 255 million, 96% dead, 205 million, 80% dead, 70 million, 75%. All but the one that killed the dinosaurs involved climate change produced by greenhouse gas.

        250 million years ago, CO2 warmed the planet by 5 degrees C. We are currently adding carbon to the atmosphere at least 10 times faster--100 times faster than any point in human history before industrialization. There is now a third more carbon in the atmosphere than any point in the last 800,000 years--possibly as long as 15 million years.

        More than half of the carbon exhaled into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels has been emitted in the last 3 decades, which means we have done as much damage to the fate of the planet and its ability to sustain human life and civilization during that time than in all the millennia that preceded it.

        Taken from The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, by David Wallace Wells.

        This book has been criticized, by some climate change advocates as well as deniers, as being too pessimistic--an attempt to scare people. But it's worth the read. We need to be scared, for all those who deny or minimize our role in global warming or its severity.

          There's a whole genre out there that believes Space Shuttle launches trigger earthquakes, so, yeah, I'd believe that guy believes that.

            Seems it's happened before, before genus homo.

                  Ultimately, yes.

                  We genus homo, as great as we believe we are, are a galactic statistical anomaly and we'll be rounded off when the galaxy gets around to it.

                        So then you will totally accept the time when you and your family die due to a weather event. Just the way it is. No worries that there may be a chance that the current situation can be man caused, and that death just happens. It's more important that people can make money vs. do anything about that.

                        Ok.

                        Your version of capitalism sucks.

                          That day is coming no matter what any of us do. In the meantime, enjoy the ride.

                          alfa, some day you will be dead. Nature demands it; it's the funny thing about life, none of us get out of it alive.

                            Some people have kids and want a habitable planet for them, heck some don't and still would like the future to not be a complete mess for the human race. Just accepting it and saying we can't do anything because it's hard is just weird.

                              We've reached the next step on the Exxon Escalator:

                              1. Climate change is wacky.
                              2. Climate change is a hoax.
                              3. Climate change is real but it's not man-made.
                              4. Climate change is man-made but it's not fossil fuels.
                              5. Life is pointless anyway.

                                I don't think you understand how expensive it would be to save our species from extinction. Think of the cost, man!
