Rising sea levels. Exactly. So what? Might sound like a flippant question but if one keeps asking ‘what if?’ And ‘so what?’ one can get further along. I looked at the article. The usual stuff about lowland flooding, people having to move inward, loss of habitat etc. Ok and? Whilst these things can be tragic if affecting humans or animals, the world has been through worse before. Humans and animals will move inland as before.
The seas will not boil and none of us are going to fry alive on the surface of the planet for the next 1000 years.
What about the opposite? During the ice age? Humans had to move south, many no doubt perished.
Greenland and Antarctica had no ice for long periods, much much warmer than it is now. Imagine Antarctica with no ice and it being not brutally cold/windy. I’m sure the penguins and polar bears would much prefer huddling together at -80c and walking for miles in the biting blizzards to have their young.
If ‘climate change’ and rising sea levels is so pressing and urgent (‘12 years’) why do so many politicians buy real estate on the coast?
Let’s say that there is more lighting. And it starts more fires, again, so what? We get more fires. The co2, nitrates and particulates released into the air wash down with rain and are re absorbed into nature.
If one is that concerned about things generating co2 then perhaps cutting co2 production with power generation would be a start?
Get the whole world to convert to nuclear power. Done. No more co2 production through power. Problem solved. Should offset cows farting no?
I agree that our species will probably survive. For a while, at least. I hope we evolve past this notion that we can do whatever we want.
That I posit everyone will support!
Odd question: what vehicle if any, do you operate for work or home?
