The whole is nothing but the sum of specifics. The oceans are boiling [0], marine life is dying [1]. Land close to the water will be land under water soon [2]. The ice caps are melting and setting free all sorts of diseases. [3] Large parts of our planet on fire all the time now, here's one from Australia from this year [4], but I'm sure you've read about wildfires in Spain and France this year, Australia last year, California every year, Greece last year etc etc. Rivers in Europe are at an all-time low [5], nuclear power plants need to shut down because they can't be cooled anymore. [6] It takes deep ideological commitment to close ones eyes to the obvious.

  This is precisely the ideologically driven blindness that is a symptom of said death cult.

But life expectancy is highest and stil increasing. Do you have any proof this trend would reverse?

  That model assumes no major external factors changing. You think life expectancy will stay the same when forests burn down, we run out of water and crops, conflicts start everywhere, cities start flooding, we get more and more storms, energy crises because we have to shut down power plants etc etc? You're basing your read on wayyyy too simplistic a metric that compresses true life expectancy into something not accounting for most meaningful dimensions.

    >You think life expectancy will stay the same when forests burn down, we run out of water and crops, conflicts start everywhere, cities start flooding, we get more and more storms, energy crises because we have to shut down power plants etc etc? It will go up. The rest of the third world is at very low life expectancy and the next 100 years will involve a lot of progress for them. You have not shown me any evidence that it will go down.
