Not sure there is any reason to debate someone who deliberately oversimplify what I say, call it laughable and then point to a highly biased website. Of course

Of course Holland and Bangladesh isn't the same situation so to call your own strawman laughable says a lot about where you are coming from in this.
But against my better judgement I am still engaging in the hopes that you are in fact interested in hearing what my point is.
Yes everything has uncertainties which would be good to remember in this debate as thats the difference between whether we are doomed or whether the climate will change as I has always done and we need to adjust to it. Instead of trying to claim that we know for a fact what the outcome is, how big our involvement in climate change is, how much we can do something about.
Even the IPCC does not deal in such certainties and have toned down their doomsdaying over the years. That's important to keep in mind before we all jump on the "we are doomed" bandwagon.
There are things we can do especially these days as we are much better at handling nature than we were 100 years ago which means that no matter how much of climate change is manmade we have a better chance of dealing with the consequences today than if those changes had happened 100 years ago.
