I'm not sure how easily observable facts fall into the category of "sheer arrogance", also not entirely sure why you're personally attacking me. It's uncalled for and adds nothing to the discussion. Global warming is an easily observable fact, it's happening, it will ruin the world for everyone.
>Governments do bad things, sometimes backed by popular opinion. You assume a world government be concerned with global warming or humanitarian issues and would not make bad choices. Why do you assume that? What would stop a world government from committing actual genocide? If it was truly a world government, nothing could stop it.
So you missed the point entirely because you had decided I personally think I know what's best for the planet. I literally stated "I'm not sure how we get from here to ideal situation"
Ideal situation would quite obviously be a state in which there is no genocide. People are not unjustly killed, imprisoned, etc. Maybe chill with the assumptions of bad intentions.

It's uncalled for and adds nothing to the discussion. Global warming is an easily observable fact, it's happening, it will ruin the world for everyone. It is not an "easily observable fact" that climate change is going to "ruin the world for everyone". I'm sorry if my comment came off as a personal attack. People, including me, are often completely wrong while convinced that we are completely right. Sheer arrogance seems like a fair way to describe that.

Hence the debate raging about its existence. To observe it requires a complex scientific community and even then, only those close to the ground "observe" anything at all. * I agree global warming is happening * I 100% doubt global warming would ruin the world for even the majority of humans. Damage, destruction, strife for sure. But it's not an apocalypse.
