>“Save the planet” is not the literal “save the giant space ball”. It is short hand for “save the environmental components that are conducive to life on land and in the seas So you exchanged a huge hyperbole to a slightly smaller one missing my point entirely. There is precisely zero chance for "environmental components conductive to life on land and in the seas" to dissappear due to few degrees of average temperature change. We had such things on this planet as huge meteorite impacts (for example the one that was instrumental in dinosaur extinction), we had mega volcanoes, we had average temperatures over 30C higher than now for millenia. Both caused extinctions of many species, and one could argue they indeed caused "-some- environmental components conductive to life on land and in the seas to change". But even these catastrophes (as well as other mass dyings in history) haven't made "environmental components conductive to life to dissappear". By making such hyperboles you make most people dismiss the entire thing as quackery. And those that do believe you instead of being motivated become depressed and prone to "spur of the moment" action which translates to the stupidest (environmentally) policy making one can imagine.
