Wait, are you suggesting that the mainstream view is that catastrophic climate change is inevitable? I don't think that's accurate.

- TeMPOraL 10y agoWell, the climate change might not be catastrophic per se, but I wouldn't be so sure about population movements it'll force, or its effect on global food supply. It would be a damn shame if technological civilization collapsed into war and famine just because the average temperature on the planet rose a few degrees. But it feels quite likely.
- baddox 10y agoIt all depends on how quickly the climate changes. Populations move and food production changes over time anyway, so a sufficiently gradual change in climate is probably not going to cause anything remotely resembling a catastrophe. I think climate change believers do a disservice when they overcompensate against climate change deniers by making claims about impending doom.
