>it's also not going to completely doom the human race Ok, how?

  Isn't the person claiming something is going to happen the first one that needs to explain why and how? Only after that, it makes sense to ask the person denying the original claim to bring his arguments. Or, to put it simply: in this case, it's the doomers that need to answer how and why.

        If you read that link, you'd know that what you are doing is anything but honest debating.

            Could you also please stop posting in the flamewar style? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

              Your rules are too subjective and loosely defined for me to understand what is and is not "flamewar style". Could you work on updating these to be more decisive and objective? I have no clue what I did wrong based on that link, other than you just didn't care for it personally. Asking someone to explain themselves and telling them why they should does not appear to be "flamewar" material imo.

                Sorry if it wasn't clear, but I was responding to your comments as a whole in this thread and other threads - for example these ones: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878534 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878534 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878406 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878406 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878395 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878395 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35877501 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35877501 The problem is being aggressively disputatious and using flamewar tropes like snark and name-calling, which is not allowed here, especially on divisive topics. I hope that helps explain things. There's no way to eliminate the subjective element, but we try not to make any dramatic interpretive leaps in applying the rules. For example I'm pretty sure almost no one in this community would disagree that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878534 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878534 was a flamewar comment.

  What do you mean how? You will not die from climate change that's how. There is no data that accurately predicts an end to the human race due to climate change. It's an issue that deserves attention, but the likelihood that'll it wipe you out or anyone in the near future is pure bullshit. Things are improving, humans will adapt etc. You were far more likely to die from a number of natural things before modern inventions (yes the ones that are now causing climate change) helped keep you well fed, warm, etc.
