#1 is marketing hype
#2 is a remote possibility
#3 is a non-threat
- alex_duf 2y agoplease explain how #3 is a non-threat?
- admissionsguy 2y agoUnlike race, the fear of global warming is a social construct. Logically, if you are worried about humans, you should be worried about aging, cancer, heart disease. And if you are worried about the rest of nature, you should be worried about geology and human influence (of which climate is a minor part and self-limiting if significant).
- jonwinstanley 2y agoYou can’t think of any circumstances where climate change might cause a threat to human life on the planet?
- eterps 2y agoI also think it's bewildering when people say things like that. Are they thinking that humans are incapable of causing climate change no matter what they do? Or that we are currently not in trouble and fine for decades/centuries to come?
- admissionsguy 2y agoI think you are <strike>crazy</strike> unreasonable if you think we are not fine for decades or centuries to come, climate-wise. Barring big volcanic eruptions.
- vbezhenar 2y agoAnd how hypothetical global warming is a threat? So let's assume it's happening. Let's assume some ices melt and ocean level rises. Let's assume some coastal cities gets flooded. Just move to higher places, eh? Why do you live in coast anyway, what a weird thing. I'd welcome global warming, I tired of paying $50/month every winter just to keep my house warm.
- mrexroad 2y agoYour comment is so misguided I can’t tell if you’re joking, trolling, or serious. I don’t know what else to say other than please keep the following in mind: CO2 is transparent to solar radiation, but opaque/reflective to the IR wavelengths that earth radiates heat back to space.
