  There are a lot of events in which global warming will mean the end of human life on earth. Acidic oceans. Too much methane in our atmosphere and other “great” things, that have all happened in earths past. Even if it doesn’t get to the Roland Emmerich version, which I agree we likely won’t, climate change will still displace billions of people. Just imagine how a world that couldn’t handle a few million refugees will react to a billion. Climate change is the biggest and most important threat that humans ever faced, and we’re rioting to stop the solutions. I’m truly not sure where you or others find your optimism in that. Is it the falling man syndrome? After the first two floors you felt fine, and you even turned your back to the approaching ground, because it didn’t make you feel good? I agree that the Roland Emmerich version is absurd, but we frankly would benefit immensely by acting as though it wasn’t.

  Try growing crops in a planet ten degrees hotter than current levels and then we can talk about ludicrous.
