> In any event, I'll gladly take the other side of any of these bets which predict complete and total anarchy. The despondency of the climate scientists you cite is validation how insane (literally) people have become over this, it's not additional evidence of the true state of the world. So basically you're choosing to willfully ignore the experts' opinions when they're freaking out after having literally spoken to the public for this for 3 decades and having warned of the consequences of inaction. No, your position is insanity. You're essentially denying things because your worldly observations end where your eyes stop seeing. If you went to the Andes and hiked and looked at the glaciers, your opinion would be completely different. If you went to Australian Reef and saw how literally most of the life that used to be there is now completely dead, your opinion would be different. If you were able to see the levels of the water tables in California, your opinion would be different. Your problem is that your vision is completely buffered by living in an environment mostly controlled by humans, buffered from the variance of the world.
