> The world is not ending - Its going to get by just fine. We may be turning this planet into a lifeless rock. Other planets like Mars and Venus are "getting by just fine" by that measure. We may not be able to induce a total runaway greenhouse effect but killing off the oceans and making much of the planet inhospitable is still on the table. Really though, environmentalism is more about saving ourselves than our planet. Our sun won't last forever and eventually the Earth will be totally destroyed. The less we have to struggle with survival due to what we've allowed to be done to the Earth the more we can work towards finding new homes.
