Climate Change - increasingly horrible disasters loom
...............
there is so much out there about this - I don't really need to provide a lot of sources - a quick google search will find you thousands of links
of course there are the climate change deniers
and there are those who say what little we can do won't be nearly enough
just one link:
from the article:
"Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree*: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. "
couldn't resist one more link - story about Siberia, one of the coldest places on earth where there is human habitation - they now face 100 degree days and multiple wildfires caused by them

You wrote no valid argument about exctinction risk. For exctinction to happen because of climate warming you need the currently coldest place on earth to become unlivable because it's too hot.
Do you realize that requires more than 50 celsius temperature increases for the coldest places on the planet right?
You might have a (grotesquely exaggerated) argument for massive population decrease, but do you realize exctinction means every single human being dies? or you just use words at random?
Climate change itself causing extinction require runaway climate change (again before we out expand it). It's definitely possible but obviosuly nothing like a certainty. Climate change will cause a lot of political trouble and could easily lead to very serious wars - that's another possible path to extinction but again nothing like a certainty. There's a few other even less likely possibilities.
Extinction risk is not the important bit. Climate change can be both catastrophically horrific to live through and a blip on the graph.
There is one specie that got extinct by climate change even tho they dominated millions of years ….
They did nothing too , like us, vs climate changes .
I thought we were smarter then dinosaurs but I guess we’re not shrug.
Actually we might be even dumber then dinosaurs because we , contrary to them, had the capacity to do something about it .
Point is , yeah climate change can become on the trend we are, a definite real big problem .
But hey, not learning from past mistakes is a way of life for humans .
Already massive amount of plants insect and animals already disappearing..,
We are smarter and we might even be handle a massive rock hurtling towards us if/when that happens.
Pokerbro is the example of the climate porn apocalyptor who is infinitely more dangerous for society than the worst denialist could ever be, because his take is far more removed from reality than a denialist take can be.
If climate change has an effect of X, and i denied that, i am X away from truth.
Please explain how you determine from his post he is a leftist?
