Good lord, climate fatalism at its finest folks, right here.
I'll tell you what, I'll ask my dad if he remembers the first person in the 1970s who told him the world was going to end in ten years due to global cooling
I remember in the 90s it was the ozone hole that was going to cause us all to burn
When everything is relatively fine -- climate will change, of course, as it always has, and humans will adapt -- I won't think of you, or this thread, because why would I waste my time?
But I'll remember all the fearmongers and doomsayers and chicken littles, more generally
Every generation has them

For the last 10,000 years the climate has been relatively stable, and that is the reason that human civilization was able to emerge in the first place. It's hard to build cities if the arable land moves every 10 years. Yes, every age has its doomsayers. But this time it really is different.
