> You don't think it's necessarily false, you just don't care. It's statements like this one that I find the most bizarre. You claim this is about science... well, that's not how science works. First you prove to me that this is real. Make some predictions (non wishy-washy ones), wait however long for those to be observed, and then we know global warming's real. Making predictions you can't be bothered to wait to observe is a a palm reader's scam. > If I may ask -- does it bother you that other people care, You are part of a dying civilization that has convinced itself not to reproduce. The social norms of such a civilization are completely irrelevant, including and maybe especially to themselves. > , and therefore it's a wasted effort, and wasted efforts bother you? I just saw 10%+ inflation the last year or so because a cold virus made people work from home and this disrupted toilet paper manufacturing supply chains. You say that we have to stop emitting carbon dioxide (something I've been doing since I was born), all of it, to save a planet that you won't bother to have babies to live in it 100 years from now... and that's supposed to be painless economic proposition? If what you wanted only cost a few tens of trillions, why the hell not? Burn the money (not literally, carbon dioxide), and make a future generation pay for it. All I see are world-ending economic catastrophes. No thanks. The future world isn't yours to worry about anymore. This will seem totally off-topic to you, of course. Incomprehensible, even. But my daughter still tells me at age 14 that she wants 5 or 6 kids of her own. Me and mine will be above replacement, I think. It'll be our problem, and they're up to the challenge.
