The point for lots of us is not to avoid the extinction of the human race but to reduce our suffering.
Lots of people are gonna suffer worse climate each year, lose their home and eventually their life all because we didn't put our shit together.
Try telling them it's fine because the human race will prevail at the end.
Science keep changing predictions and recomendations. That's part of the scientific method and the expected result. It can be disencouraging some times but the solution is not to give up on science and just wing it.
Having said that, the climate change models have been pretty accurate, more so taking into account the difficulty of modelling such a complex system.
The ozone hole was huge and we changed the products we used and it got fixed, it wasnt a miracle or a bad prediction just cause and effect.
This worked well because the economies were favorable but if the replacement were a lot more expensive the issue would have lasted a lot longer.
There are some more points I would like to tackle but I'm writing on my phone and this is already getting too long.
