you seem to be missing my entire point, i've never once denied climate change or tried to paint it as nothing. i'm simply pointing out it isn't the apocalypse, the human species isn't in danger.

uh huh and how many australia sized pieces of land would have to be on fire before you considered the human species to be in danger

the amount that would actually endanger the human species?

is this a trick question? lol

saying these fires endanger the human species is the equivalent to saying a stubbed toe is endangering your life.

James I'm sure boofs stance is not that the Australia incident itself is a threat to humankind...you must be trolling

It's but one example, and all these recent events are just the beginning if drastic behavioral, corrective, and legislative measures aren't taken immediately

That is where you are incorrect. It's happening regardless. As humans we have sped up the process by CONTRIBUTING to it. The only thing that can be done is to maybe delay it some. But it's a car on a hill, there are no brakes, our choices are to keep gassing it and see what's at the bottom, or completely change everything and let off the gas and let it roll to the bottom on it's own

Nah, we can climb back up the hill
Not the best metaphor but what I’m saying is we can scrub carbon from the atmosphere in large enough amounts to matter. We have the technology. We can re-glacier the ocean too. We have the technology. What we lack is the infrastructure.
