Though you said that to trigger locogringo, I'll take that challenge. The planet's climate always changes. Mankind (or "peoplekind" if you're beta-boy Trudeau) will have a significant impact on that change, but we can't avoid that. All we can do is adapt, just like life on earth has been doing for hundreds of millions of years. Acting like the planet only has 12 years to live is stupid. Even today we're seeing old doomsday predictions expire. National parks are taking down the "Gone in 2020" signs, Al Gore's "point of no return" already passed, and we haven't seen more Hurricane FEMAs like Bill Nye the so-called "science guy" predicted. Yet idiots like Alexandria Occasional-Cortex and other brainwashed millennials are still acting like the world is going to end soon. Technology will be the key to reducing our CO2 emissions, but that also means pursuing nuclear power, something that the left disingenuously excluded from the table. Solar and wind aren't going to cut it, at least not without big breakthroughs in energy storage like batteries. Environmentalism is now indistinguishable from socialism. Most liberals these days think capitalism is killing our environment, and that if we just made everyone "more equal," we'll fix the climate. How stupid is that? It just confirms that environmentalism is the lie that power-hungry socialists use to gain power. Fear is a very powerful tool in controlling the masses. Calling anyone who isn't on your side "science-deniers" is also blatantly dishonest and hypocritical. Once again, that's a tool to silence the opposition and gain power over the sheeple. Ever hear the phrase "The science is settled"? That's a lie; by definition, science is never settled. Bottom line is that this planet isn't going to hell in a handbasket just because of CO2. Anyone who pretends otherwise is a liar. Tenchusatsu
